If I have a number of RPM files and I want to install them all, I do: "rpm -Uvh *.rpm" (the -i command will not work if older version of any package is already installed).
But if any of these RPM files are already installed, the above command will fail listing those files as already installed.
IMHO, RPM should skip those already-installed files and continue with installing the remaining files, instead of doing nothing.
