Strangely, it's not accepting that syntax. I have RPM version 4.0.4. I have 
also tried -F (--freshen) to no avail.

Also, to the other suggestion involving installing an older package:
[root at laptopLinux Current Installs]# rpm -e --nodeps --force --noscripts 
coreutils-4.5.7-1mdk.i586.rpm
rpm: only installation, upgrading, rmsource and rmspec may be forced

Hmm... Ideas?
