That seems like chasing our tail: adding more logic/work to replicate
a mechanism that is already available (*and* making sure that we keep
this logic up-to-date with all the OFED distributions out there --
which seems like a losing proposition). RPM can detect this kind of
conflict and prevent it. Why aren't we using it?
Oh, right, because we're doing several kinds of non-standard things
that preclude us from doing so. :-)

conflicting versions of the same software (OFED).
That's a good point, although not entirely correct. AFAIK OFED
installer
currently attempts to detect and warn about conflicting libraries,
this logic
probably can be improved.
