I can't fathom any sane reason why one would want to do this (--test I
can see) as it completely removes the functionality yum performs so
well. Adding --force and --nodeps is inherently broken, and basically
means that the rpms you're using aren't packaged properly. Do things
the right way and fix the packaging and dependencies if this is a
problem.
