What is the best way to upgrade an OS installed net-snmp?

Greetings,

I tried to upgrade net-snmp on my Redhat Linux server with commandline "yum install net-snmp" which only installs net-snmp 5.3.2 binaries, not later versions. I downloaded the net-snmp-5.4.2.1-1.f9.i386.rpm from sourceforge.net and installed it with commandline
# yum isntall net-snmp-5.4.2.1-1.f9.i386.rpm

which returns

Loaded plugins: product-id, security, subscription-manager
Updating Red Hat repositories.

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
                        package-cleanup --dupes
                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
eventhough I had installed glibc and perl with yum.

How to install a later version of net-snmp binaries on a Redhat server without compiling from source?

Thanks,
Hank Guo
