On the x86_64 systems I am bumping into this quite a bit:

These packages are trying to write out the same man pages or other docs to
the exact same file. It would seem that there needs to be some type of
versioning related to documentation so that you could have multiple versions
of the same package installed.
The next question is how do you get around this problem. I've had to use
'rpm --force' to get by this type of problem. Is that the only solution?
It depends on the pkgs involved in the error:
if the pkgs are different versions and different archs then you need to
get the same ver of both archs. If you STILL get the error then you have
found a packaging bug and need to report it to whomever provided those
pkgs.
hope this helps.
