Didn't work:

[root@molybdenum alpha]# rpm -U --force glibc-devel-2.0.7-19.alpha.rpm 
error: glibc-devel-2.0.7-19.alpha.rpm cannot be installed

Any other thoughts?  I also tried rpm -e glibc-devel-{old version} and
rpm -i --force glibc-devel-{new version} and that didn't work either.
Look at this double-verbose output:

   [root@molybdenum alpha]# rpm -U -vv --force glibc-devel-2.0.7-19.alpha.rpm

Eh?
