Which part? The "usually an error for a package to contain files which are on the system in another package" piece, or the "currently the --force-overwrite flag is enabled by default" piece, or the "downgrading the error to a warning" piece? And, as far as I can tell, yes, it is always true that usually it is an error for two packages to contain duplicate files when both can be installed on a system. -- Earthlink: The #1 provider of unsolicited bulk email to the Internet.
