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.
