Kai, correct me if I'm wrong, but one is allowed to use other programs not supplied by CentOS. And surely if the user feels that xyz-1.2.3.rpm is giving him problems, and he wants to use xyz-1.2.0.rpm instead that's his choice?
Well, I have rpmforge enabled for example, and I installed an application from their repo which installed a few dependencies from their repo as well. One of those dependencies was an rpm whose version was higher than the software dev's recommended version.
In that scenario, how does one force a downgrade?

Does the current installed version give a problem?
Using something like rpmforge to install an rpm ( I presume you used yum or something?) I think the only way is to remove it, and then manually install the correct one. The command would be something like rpm -ivh http://rmpforge-website/rpms/package-1.2.3.54-234.rpm - or something
