Creating RPM with Conflicting Files

Hello all - 


I bundle python along with several other packages into my own RPM and release to my clients.  

My old RPM and new RPM contain the same file: /usr/local/bin/pydoc  so my new RPM conflicts and won't install.

Some systems may have both RPMs installed while others may only have the new RPM.  


How can I create the new RPM so it will overwrite the pydoc file if the system has the old RPM?

Regards, 

Jen
