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.
