There are two cases in which RPM allows "overlapping" files.

The first is that the files are identical.  I.e. same md5sum/same sha1.  There
are reasons for overlapping files in most distros, so they are handled
gracefully.  (To me not supporting identical files in multiple packages is a
defect.. because of the second reason...)

The second is two files of different ELF types.  This can occur when you are on
a multilib system.  You have duplicate packages (one 32-bit, one 64-bit) to be
installed at the same time.  They may contain duplicate files, as well as endian
specific files (libraries and binaries).  In the case of overlapping binaries
RPM will check and use a configured policy to determine which one is installed
and which is ignored.  (On IA32 systems, generally 64-bit is installed, and
32-bit is ignored.)  Goal is to allow for both 64-bit and 32-bit libraries, all
common data files and the "preferred" binary format to be installed onto a system.
