I wouldn't think so myself, but Thorsten's report seems to indicate
this.
Is there some other explanation why people don't see file conflicts
under yum?
rpm does not properly detect multilib conflicts when packages are
installed in the same transaction. This is a RPM bug, and has
nothing to do with yum.
Bug 190209, if you're curious.
