file conflict in updates for eog and file-roller

In the latest updates eog-2.7.0-2 and file-roller-2.7.3-2 both
claim an ownership of a file with a different content but
the same name of /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
This ends up in "file ... conflicts between attempted installs ..."
from rpm.

Curiously enough this errors out on i386 but with the same issue on
x86_64 everything seems to be happy.  A temporary workaround is
to '--force' an installation but depending on an order you
will end up with a smaller or bigger mimeinfo.cache.
