install a obsoleted package
How do you install a obsoleted package? This is the error message if you are curious.

Code:
$ sudo rpm -i /home/bob/Downloads/OOO330_m20_native_packed-1_en-US.9567/RPMS/openoffice.org-ure-1.7.0-9567.i586.rpm 
[sudo] password for bob: 
error: Failed dependencies:
        openoffice.org-ure < 1:3.3.1 is obsoleted by (installed) libreoffice-ure-1:3.3.4.1-2.fc15.i686

If you just want to install the package irrespective of dependences, you can use the --nodepends option.

If CentOs conn your box with net and use yum to install from free repo .. which will install your all dependencies elase register your OS and get repo..
Else you could find all dependent pack on OS dvd .. Create local yum and install

Here am not aware about your OS flavour .. pls post so .. for better solutions ..

Thank you. Surprised I couldn't find anything useful on google.

Did rpm change their options a bit? In fedora it is --nodeps.

Sometimes its hard to find something if you don't know what you are looking for. I didn't know what I was looking for. I was looking for the word obsolete since that what I thought the problem was.
