well yeah libgtop won't install..

No. First off I never said to use nodeps. You want to install it along
side of the older version, breaking as little as posible in the mean
time. If you use nodeps you do not get told about the missing file
(tracking it down now) in libgtop-1.1.5-0.1mdk (libgtop_sysdeps-1.1.so.5),
it would be pretty much useless

You shouldn't have to force it, you would issue
rpm --test -ivv --replace-files libgtop-1.1.5-0.2mdk.i586.rpm
# install 1.1.5 overwriteing any common files
rpm --test -Uvv libgtop-devel-1.1.5-0.2mdk.i586.rpm
# replace the old devel with the new
Once all the files linked to older libs are updated, you issue
rpm --test -evv libgtop-1.1.3-Xmdk
# Remove the obsolete libs
Rpm will skip over the "common/newer" files when you erase the older
rpm.
Bon?
