 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

How can I solve this?

Can I Only

 rpm -Uvh --force PACKAGEFILE

this way?

Howto Setup yum repositories to update or install packages offline.

yum (Yellow dog Updater Modified) is a package manager for RPM compatible Linux systems such as CentOS, Fedora core and latest Redhat Enterprise Linux.

So how do you use yum to update / install packages from an ISO or directory?

Creation of yum repositories is handled by a separate tool called createrepo, which generates the necessary XML metadata. If you have a slow internet connection or collection of all downloaded ISO images, use this hack to install rpms from iso images.

Step #1: Put rpm files in directory

Type the following command (replace iso file name with the actual iso file):

yum install createrepo

mkdir -p /opt/GHOST

And copy .rpm files to /opt/GHOST

Step #2: Create a repository
Use createrepo to generate the necessary XML metadata. Type the following commands:

cd /opt/GHOST

createrepo .

Clean repo, enter:

yum clean all

Step #3: Create config file

You need to create a repo config file in /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory.

vim /etc/yum.repos.d/GHOST.repo

Append following text:
[GHOST-repo]
baseurl=file:///opt/GHOST
enabled=1

Save and close the changes.

Step #4: Update YUM

yum update

Now use yum command to install packages from ISO images:

yum install package-name
