Redhat and up2date with RPM package conflict errors

If you get this:

RPM package conflict error.  The message was:
Test install failed because of package conflicts:

Then you got to do this:

1. rpm -e --allmatches [conflicting package]
2. up2date -p
3. up2date [conflicting package]
4. up2date -u

This has cleared up my problem in the past and makes for a clean solution.
