I favor this option strongly.  Any of the other solutions add 
dependencies that you didn't have, and thus make things considerably 
more complicated.  Recovery from this option is also 
straightforward--install the missing bits.

It becomes tricky, however, if there is a circular dependency and one of 
the two packages is already installed correctly.  (If RPM allows 
circular dependencies at all...)  I suppose the next step then would be 
the removal of the other package and all dependent packages.
