multiple packages managing the same file

Can anything properly be assumed about how RPM will treat a file F which is initially installed by package A and then also installed by a new package B when package B is downgraded to a different version which never contained file F. In all cases rpm reports that both packages contain the file when both A and the new B are installed. In all cases rpm also reports that package A contains F after downgrade to B. However, sometimes it appears that F has been deleted and other times
it remains in the file system.


This is RPM 4.0.4. I'm looking for a way to move a file from one package to the other without causing it to disappear on downgrade if the new package managing the file has to be downgraded for some reason.

Thanks.

Mike
