Hmm... good question. I've been mostly a debian guy for the past few
years and have lost my edge in things RPM.

I think it's actually moot at that point, but I could very easily be
wrong. For the sake of having it "feel right", I guess you're right and
it should be -U in this case, because we're very definitely dealing with
an already installed package.

Something I'm unclear on, though, and perhaps you can answer me quicker
than I can get to a man page, is,

is --nodeps implied as well? Or does this also downgrade possible
dependencies as well?
