Better to use -U, not -i.
The one common use for -i is for a new "kernel" rpm.
-U deinstalls the old version (if it exists) then installs the new.
If there is no installed old version, it does what you want - just installs.
-i tries to install the new version while the old version is still there,
failing almost every time because of conflicting files.
