Re: --force in addInstall

Thanks Paul.

I think you are almost right. From the man page, it is
"Same as using --replacepkgs, --replacefiles, and --oldpackage."

I guess this will be the right combination:
rpm.RPMPROB_FILTER_REPLACEPKG |
rpm.RPMPROB_FILTER_REPLACENEWFILES |
rpm.RPMPROB_FILTER_OLDPACKAGE
