-Uvh will update rpms that already exist on your system, but if the rpm
doesn't already exist on your system, it will do the same as an -ivh
(i.e., install the new rpm). In this sense, -ivh is redundant. -Fvh will
*only* update rpms that already exist on your system.

Every *nix/linux mail program expects (more or less) to get some sort of
