The torque spec is creating correctly /usr/bin/qstat as a symlink via alternatives mechanism (reading the .spec only, have not checked). The qstat pkg should do the same. Currently while the qstat pkg is creating a file at /usr/bin/qstat then it is conflicting in the RPM sense. Once qstat pkg uses alternatives as well it will no longer conflict. Two packages that contain alternatives for a single file don't conflct in the RPM sense. You can install both pkgs and then select one to be the real /usr/bin/qstat via the alternatives mechanism. Hope that makes sense.
