Then 'rpm --erase' one of the packages. Then 'rpm --verify' the other package. The 'erase' will have removed the files which were in common. At least when I try it. Next try to 'rpm --upgrade' one of the two packages. Now the files should conflict. I think it is a bad idea for the same file to appear in multiple packages.
