And I answered:
I think this is the proper solution (I figured this out a week or so ago
but forgot to post - too much in my head, too few neurons :-)
apt-get -o RPM::Install-Options::=--oldpackage install planetccrma-core-redhat
This will pass the correct option to rpm and it will install the package
without complaining. I just tested it again and seems to work. I'll
update the docs online asap.
