Gil, what I do in such a situation is from my download folder, right click on 
the rpm and select Open with  -- Kpackage.  Then you can try install.  If it 
gives any grief you can always uninstall the existing rpm and then install 
the new one.

It's a lot quicker than fooling around with trying to make YOU look at your 
download file.
