It's running all the installs now... it seems to install packages that
are already installed...

[root at rocky temprpm]# rpm -Uvh *.rpm
warning: package glibc = 2.3.2-101 was already added, replacing with
glibc <= 2.3.2-101

Is this a bug where decision to skip needs to include the "equal"
condition? Or is it a feature that allows the reinstallation of
previously installed rpms?
