there is, at no time, the force options used in yum, at all

where did you get this idea?

How does it manage to install rpms which install files already installed by other RPMs then?

'rpm' itself wouldn't allow this without the force argument, also whatever way apt-get uses librpm it allows librpm to raise the error in exact same way as if rpm had been used without the force argument. With Yum OTOH there are no errors and the rpm is installed - hence the reasonable conclusion that it specifies whatever librpm equivalent of 'force' - if it's due to something else, then the user-visible effect at least is identical.

I wish yum wouldn't do that.
