update packages with yum

Hello

Is there a way to update a package to a specific version with yum?
So, I have version 1 of package A installed. Versions 2 and 3 are available, but I only want to upgrade to version 2. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks!

$ yum search vlc
....................
vlc.i386 0.9.2-1.el5.rf rpmforge
....................
vlc.i386 0.8.6d-2.el5.rf rpmforge
....................
vlc.i386 0.8.6i-1.el5.rf rpmforge
....................
vlc.i386 0.8.6h-1.el5.rf rpmforge
....................

to get the package info on the version you want to install then just do:

yum install vlc-0.8.6d-2.el5.rf.i386

A package can be referred to for install,update,list,remove etc
with any of the following:

      name
      name.arch
      name-ver
      name-ver-rel
      name-ver-rel.arch
      name-epoch:ver-rel.arch
      epoch:name-ver-rel.arch
