First of all, according to what I found in my own search, there are generally two situations about the occurrence of this 'conflicts with file from package' error.
The first is when installing using rpm. There are related solutions online :
https://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.1/Deployment_Guide/s3-rpm-conflicting-files.html
To make RPM ignore this error, use the --replacefiles option:
rpm -ivh --replacefiles foo-1.0-1.i386.rpmJust add the --replacefiles parameter after the rpm -ivh command.
The second situation, which I encountered myself, was when yum was installed.
mistake:

Error Summary
-------------
'''
This is because the rpm installation package was installed once before, but it was found that it was not working, and then it was installed by modifying the source of yum, and such an error occurred.
solution:
#yum -y remove MySQL-devel-5.5.48-1.el6.x86_64
The green part above is copied as it is and it is OK.
This removes the conflicting part.
result:
# yum -y remove MySQL-devel-5.5.48-1.el6.x86_64
