Umm.. why are you installing a 2.2.23 policy like this, when you just downloaded 2.2.28? Why isn't the 2.2.28-1 RPM installable as is, and what problems are you setting yourself up for by doing this behind RPM's back?

No good can come from this. Especially since rpm thinks the 2.2.28.1 strict policy is installed....
