rpm -Uvh opendkim-2.4.2-1.i386.rpm libopendkim-2.4.2-1.i386.rpm
You're too used to yum. :-) yum does the dependency resolution for
you and realizes that when you upgrade opendkim, it must also upgrade
libopendkim. When using rpm manually, you'll have to do those
yourself.
If you wanted to get fancy, you can set a Requires for opendkim of
libopendkim=2.4, which should allow all versions of libopendkim-2.4.*
to work with all versions of opendkim-2.4.*. If there is no ABI
change in the lib, then the point release updates should be ok. But I
still prefer the stricter versioning requirements myself.
Steve, you should also come hang out on IRC with us and ask there,
you'll likely get quicker responses, even if it's "I don't know" :-D
