Thanks that's hugely helpful ;) Not being familiar with all 900 lines of 
the man page I eventually found --force as an option. I.e.

rpm --force -ihv suse-build-key-1.blahblah

which works. However, is there something helpful in the man page for 
when that doesn't fix the problem I am having - I still get the same error.

Cheers, Jon.
