Oh well, I chickened out and rm'ed the existing rpms and noted which
dependencies were
deleted via pencil and paper.
I then installed the new rpms and reinstalled the previous dependencies.
I think it probably took less time to build and install from source
on my mac than
going with the rpm route :)
