forcing

[Jani Partanen]

There isn't any buidin features in smart like there is in yast, but you can
use smart -o nodeps remove packet, or smart -o force install packet
I'm not sure of this but I believe it should work. From smart help screen:
       -o OPT, --option=OPT
              Set the option given by a name=value pair
