[root at mail rpms]# rpm -e --force mysql-5.0.33-1.i386.rpm
rpm: only installation, upgrading, rmsource and rmspec may be forced
[root at mail rpms]#

I tried
[root at mail rpms]# rpm -ivh -e --force mysql-5.0.33-1.i386.rpm
Preparing...                ###########################################

    1:mysql                  ########################################### 
[100%]


but in fact it doesn't get installed.

:(

Any ideas ?

Warm Regards,
