[TriLUG] lvm2/lvm2-cluster conflict (can I replace an RPM inline?)

[Josh Johnson]

Turns out I misread the error. lvm2-cluster has a hard requirement for  
LVM2 < 2.02.46.  2.02.46 was the version I had installed.

To get the lvm2-cluster package to install, I just had to run `yum  
downgrade lvm2` a couple of times to get it under 2.02.46 (3 times to  
be exact, to get it down to 2.02.40).

I'm not sure I'm happy with this, but it gets me past this hurdle.

Thanks,
JJ
