Can one force yum to install something that's already installed?

Others have covered how to replace the package, but if you want to 
check the package to see if it is corrupted, you can run:

rpm -V <package>

or

rpm -Vv <package>

The first version will return without printing anything is 
everything verifies. The second version will show each file being 
checked, and will print .'s for things that check correctly.
