If I am not mistaken it use to be 'rpm -Uvh --force <file.rpm>' in order to force an RPM to install even if it didn't meet the dependencies. This doesn't seem to work any longer. :confused:

Is there a way to force an install now?

--force no longer works. Instead it is --nodeps

rpm -Uvh --nodeps <file.rpm>

This will install the file without checking dependencies.

Take a look at the man pages for RPM as well.
