OK, I'm trying to install the latest version of abiword on RH7.3 using
the redhat rpms supplied at the abiword site (mirrors).  rpm -Uvh
abiword-gtk-bidi-1.0.3-1.i386.rpm produces the following #!@% bit of
nonsense:

package abiword-0.99.5-2 (which is newer than abiword-1.0.3-1) is
already installed

This seems to be ridculous.  I presume by the numeric principles of
anything except chaos theory that 1.0.3-1 is really the newer package.
 Since there are no missing dependancies, I presume that I can just
use --force (or ??).  Or I could remove the older package.

Sigh, why can't RPM get anything right!

Thanks,
