Patch RPMs

I've downloaded the apache *-patch rpms from SuSE's ftp server. When I try to "rpm -ivh" them on my 8.0 box I get a whole pile of conflict errors - each file in the patch rpm conflicts with a file in the installed rpm. That makes sense but I actually want those files to be overwritten. What do I do to get the patches in? Use a --force? Or --replacefiles? Or what? -- 9:16am up 7 days, 23:55, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.02, 0.00
