Recommendation on conflict RPM installation in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • Have a scenario where two RPMs bring the same file to the system. In this case the installation fails with error
"XYZ" from install of ‘ABC' conflicts with file from package "PQR"
  • Is there any way to let the installation proceed with the second file overwriting the first file? Or is it recommended to avoid any chance of such conflicts?

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.0
  • rpm
