No, you can not overwrite system files during installation of the rpm
packages. Yum or rpm refuse to install package which conflicts with
already installed package.

Ah, yes, I see now that you have followed the packaging guidelines. I did not
know they recommended avoiding relocatable packages, and I also did not know
that they recommended against installing packages in /opt. Now I understand. I
retract my suggestion. Thank you for your quick response, and
Hi James,
I made scid rpm package following "Fedora Packaging Guidelines" [1].
It recommends to avoid relocatable packages. For instance they say
that relocatable package can not be installed by yum. I guess it is
strong argument against relocatable package.
I do not see any inconvenience in keep
