I have some rpm packages that I built locally. After installing and configuring them, I found a problem that required a source patch. I have rebuilt the rpms, but since they have the same version number as the original, I can't use "yum localupdate" to install them. Is there a clean way to do this with yum, or do I just need to remove the old packages and then install the new ones?

Is there a reason you didn't bump the Release: header in the .spec file? That's the typical mechanism for declaring one binary rpm newer than another.
