Back
I got it to work. I didn't use -Uhv. And no, I wasn't using wildcards,
it was just an example (bad one at that). I was trying to update MySQL
from 3.23 to 4. I installed the client tools first, then the shared,
then tried the server package but got errors about perl-DBD being needed
by MySQL-3.23. I then tried to remove MySQL-3.23 with the -ev option,
that said it was required by perl-DBD, then when I tried to remove
perl-DBD it said it was needed by MySQL-3.23. I finally got it to work
with a --force -ihv MySQL-server.rpm. The databases are all up and
running just fine on the new version. For future reference though, how
does one go about updating a package? The way up2date does it. I don't
mind using up2date, but it always seems like its a few releases behind.

Most likely no. You will have to tell us a little more about what you
are trying to do.
Are you using wildcards in your incantations?? If so don't do that until
you understand
what you are doing. Suggest cut-N-pasting EXACT command line used and
the errors.
