Sounds like you might have SELinux active.  Run "getenforce" and if it is
"Enforcing" then run "setenforce 0" to make it "Permissive".  Then run your
command again.

If permissive mode allows the package install command to work with --force,
then disable SELinux or try your hand at updating the SELinux policy that is
preventing it from installing.  RHEL 5 is supposed to be much easier to
customize SELinux policies but I haven't played with it yet.  I still just
disable it during the install and go...
