This is a Bad Thing to do, and can cause uncountable problems.  For your
system's sake, resolve dependencies (by yourself or with tools like ezrpm
or autoupdate or up2date).

You now have an RPM database with multiple versions of many rpms installed
(not to mention a slew of rpms installed that you probably don't want).

modules (included with OSCAR) does conflict with that package.  This will
hopefully be fixed when modules is known as modules-oscar.
