An alternative to using --force in the previous panel would be to remove the
rpm using the --nodeps option. This disables rpm's internal dependency
checking, and is not recommended in most circumstances. Nonetheless, it
is occasionally useful:
# rpm -e --nodeps xsnow
# rpm -ivh xsnow-1.41-1.i386.rpm

You can also use --nodeps when installing an rpm. To re-iterate what was said
above, using --nodeps is not recommended, however it is sometimes
necessary:
# rpm -ivh --nodeps xsnow-1.41-1.i386.rpm
