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.
Get over it, yum isn't forcing anything, you can't even tell it to force
anything! The same thing happens with rpm-cli as well: when you
install/upgrade both the i386 and x86_64 packages simultanously, rpm
"swallows" file conflicts between multilib packages. Whether that's a sane
thing to do is another question. That behavior is within rpmlib, not
specific to yum or anything else.
