It's not.  If you answer yes to all question, that will change the
attributes of the conflicting directories to the wrong ones so later
all packages that have the correct attributes will fail to install.

You can do 2 things:

1) fix the %files list in the spec file and recompile the package
2) answer "no" to installing the conflicting directories.  This means
   that pkgadd will keep the original attributes for those directories.

Obviously, 1) is a much better fix (:
