Title: rpm freshen option

I have a set of tools for upgrading my rpms that needs to solve the following problem

Problem description
Currently: rpm A-1-1 is installed.

rpm -Fvh B-1-2.rpm (rpm B's spec says Obsoletes: A)

Desired result: B-1-2 is now installed and A-1-1 is not.

I absolutely need to do a freshen of the rpm B. I can not do an upgrade for certain reasons. I know that upgrade would easily solve the above problem.

Is there any way I can do the above? Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks much
Mona
