I have a bunch of rpm files in a folder. I am trying to install them using:
rpm -ivh *.rpm so rpm can take care of the correct installation order.
On some of these rpms I have a newer version installed in my system so I get for example:
package info-5.0-1 (which is newer than info-4.13a-2) is already installed
/opt/freeware/man/man1/infokey.1 from install of info-4.13a-2 conflicts with file from package info-5.0-1
Is there a way to ignore the old .rpm file and resolve the dependency with the new version that is already installed? I thought of the --force option. But how --force resolves the conflicts? Overwrites them with the older version or just ignores them leaving the new version?
Any thoughts are welcome.
