[Samba] sorta-newbie: installing 2.2.6 rpm with --nodeps on RedHat 7.2 ?

I have samba (server-only) running on a server with a stock RedHat 7.2 'server' install and am trying to upgrade Samba to 2.2.6-1.i386. I get the following dependency failures when trying to "rpm -ivh samba-2.2.6-1.i386.rpm":

libncurses.so.4 is needed by samba-2.2.6-1
libreadline.so.3 is needed by samba-2.2.6-1

ncurses4-5.0-4.i386.rpm and ncurses-5.2-12.i386.rpm is already installed and "/usr/lib/libreadline.so.4" exists on the system. Can someone tell me if it safe to install 2.2.6 with '--nodeps' or, if that is not the best way out, point me to the correct solution?


Thanks,
