While this may work, it pretty much defeats the purpose of using rpm and yum
to manage your packages. Devrim's suggestion is really the best way to go
(as are most of his suggestions). I have used the compat rpm before, and it
works like a charm.

Usually nodeps and force are there for a reason, defeating them is usually
not what you want.
