man pages are best friend in *NIX
To help you i just looked in "man rpm" and found "--oldpackage" option provides you such functionality. Following sequence works for me
[root@sumit /root]# rpm -q procps
procps-2.0.11-7
[root@sumit /root]# rpm -U procps-2.0.6-5.i386.rpm
warning: procps-2.0.6-5.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID db42a60e
package procps-2.0.11-7 (which is newer than procps-2.0.6-5) is already installed
[root@sumit /root]# rpm -U --oldpackage procps-2.0.6-5.i386.rpm
warning: procps-2.0.6-5.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID db42a60e

Hi,
I have a questions. Does installing an rpm do more than simply extracting stuff onto the filesystem and registering the rpm as installed? Can it do stuff like kick off scripts and update environment variables in files etc?

rpmkeys
RPMKEYS(8) System Manager's Manual RPMKEYS(8)
NAME
rpmkeys - RPM Keyring
SYNOPSIS
rpmkeys {--import|--checksig}
DESCRIPTION
The general forms of rpm digital signature commands are
rpmkeys --import PUBKEY ...
rpmkeys {-K|--checksig} PACKAGE_FILE ...
The --checksig option checks all the digests and signatures contained in PACKAGE_FILE to ensure the integrity and origin of the package.
Note that signatures are now verified whenever a package is read, and --checksig is useful to verify all of the digests and signatures
associated with a package.
Digital signatures cannot be verified without a public key. An ASCII armored public key can be added to the rpm database using --import.
An imported public key is carried in a header, and key ring management is performed exactly like package management. For example, all cur-
rently imported public keys can be displayed by:
rpm -qa gpg-pubkey*
Details about a specific public key, when imported, can be displayed by querying. Here's information about the Red Hat GPG/DSA key:
rpm -qi gpg-pubkey-db42a60e
Finally, public keys can be erased after importing just like packages. Here's how to remove the Red Hat GPG/DSA key
rpm -e gpg-pubkey-db42a60e

rpmkeys --help - as rpm supports customizing the options via popt aliases it's impossible to guarantee that what's described in the manual
matches what's available.
