In all fairness, you *did* specifically ask rpm to *force* an install of
a conflicting package. I would not expect yum to be able to undo the
damage you do by using a tool wrong. Yum does totally control the
database if you totally let it control it, not if you choose to bypass
it to do something potentially risky.
