The torque  spec is creating correctly /usr/bin/qstat as a symlink
via alternatives mechanism (reading the .spec only, have not checked).

The qstat pkg should do the same. Currently while the qstat
pkg is creating a file at /usr/bin/qstat then it is conflicting in
the RPM sense. Once qstat pkg uses alternatives as well
it will no longer conflict.

Two packages that contain alternatives for a single file
don't conflct in the RPM sense. You can install both pkgs
and then select one to be the real /usr/bin/qstat via
the alternatives mechanism.
Hope that makes sense.
