I can't reproduce the exact error but at least on Fedora where /sbin is
symlinked to /usr/sbin/ on directory level, this is what I get:
> [root@localhost ~]# rpm -ivh /tmp/test-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
Verifying... ################################# [100%]
Preparing... ################################# [100%]
file /usr/sbin/aaa conflicts between attempted installs of
test-1.0-1.noarch and test-1.0-1.noarch
[root@localhost ~]#
In other words, the package conflicts with itself due to the directory level
symlink. And if you now try to force the issue, it will fail and should quite
rightly do so. Never use --force, really.
