You can force an update by using "rpm -Fvh --force whatever.rpm", but
I don't recommend it unless you really, really know what you're doing.
The dependencies are there for a reason. If you force the update, there
is no guarantee that things will work properly if you don't satisfy the
dependencies.
So, use the "--force" option, but use it at your own risk.
