RPM Upgrade?


I'm upgrading my rather outdated rpm. Strange question really... can I upgrade rpm using rpm??
ie.
rpm -Uvh rpm.-4.0.4-7x.i386.rpm

Or should I install the new rpm package and use it to remove the old one? I'm just a little worried that two rpm versions won't be happy sitting next to each other.

Anyone? I found this:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...=upgrading+rpm

I'm guessing from this that it should be ok to go ahead and upgrade?
