Hmmm, what version of rpm? My version of rpm has file conflicts  
disabled, RH's is enabled.

No popt is the way to add and explivit --fileconflicts when

Try this (untested, but simple enough that I have a prayer of typing  
correctly)

   rpm alias -U --upgrade --fileconflicts

Hmmm, perhaps your alias for -i is what broke --info. rpm has 3  
different
meanings for -i that are contextually dependent for hysterical reasons.

FWIW, -U is same as -i if package is not installed, so always use -U.
