For now, you will probably just want to do

rpm -i --force videolan-client.i386 0:0.8.4-3.2.fc4.i386.rpm

I don't use rpm to install videlan but yum. So, i don't know how to force it
to install anyway.


Oh, but yum is a front-end to rpm, that is, it uses rpm to actually install
things.  It does download the packages first, and you will find them in
/var/cache/yum/*/packages (where the star (*) is the repository name).

  cd /var/cache/yum
  ls */packages/video*
  cd [the repo]/packages
  rpm -i --force videolan-client*

I might not remember the exact details of the rpm command, use "man rpm",
search for "force" (hit the / key and type force, enter) and browse around
for whatever I missed.
