Upgrading with no dependencies

I wanted to upgrade MySQL 3.23.58 to 4.0.21.
I tried earlier with "rpm -Uvh MySQL*.rpm" but it didn't work as it mentioned
error: Failed dependencies:
libmysqlclient.so.10 is needed by (installed) perl-DBD-MySQL-2.1021-3
libmysqlclient.so.10 is needed by (installed) libdbi-dbd-mysql-0.6.5-5
libmysqlclient.so.10 is needed by (installed) MySQL-python-0.9.1-6
libmysqlclient.so.10 is needed by (installed) MyODBC-2.50.39-12
libmysqlclient.so.10 is needed by (installed) mod_auth_mysql-20030510-1.ent
libmysqlclient.so.10 is needed by (installed) php-mysql-4.3.2-8.ent

So, what I did was I upgraded MySQL (server, client, bench, devel and shared) rpm to MySQL 4.0.21 in linux using:

rpm -U --nodeps MySQL*.rpm

Will this effect the dependencies on perl-DBD-MySQL, libdbi-dbd-mysql, MySQL-python, MyODBC, mod_auth_mysql, and php-mysql?

For MySQL, it does looked fine, but will there be any conflicts later on with other dependencies??

Thanks.

This should not be an issue, as RPM is complaining only that libmysql is being deleted and replaced with something newer. The newer library should satisfy the dependencies of all the conflicts mentioned.
