In rpm world is not possible to have two different  rpm  install  the  same
config  file: it is likely that you have defined in  both rpms SPEC file
%config /etc/conf/somthing. Think if the you rpm provide alternative
function o conflicting function and package it accordly, for example via
Provides: and Obsoletes: and so.
