No. Look at this:

% rpm -qf /usr/lib/libamanda-2.4.4.so
amanda-client-2.4.4-2t
amanda-server-2.4.4-2t

% rpm -ql amanda-client | grep libamanda
/usr/lib/libamanda-2.4.4.so
/usr/lib/libamanda.so
% rpm -ql amanda-server | grep libamanda
/usr/lib/libamanda-2.4.4.so
/usr/lib/libamanda.so

rpm allows this if both rpms supply an identical file. Which they do
(they're cut from the same SRPM). It's not nice but it definitely
works without --force. I never use --force on rpm.

This is on RedHat 7.3 with rpm-4.0.4-7x.18
