If only.  The -f option applies only to queries, eg.
        $ rpm -qf /usr/lib64/pkcs11/gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so
        gnome-keyring-3.6.3-1.fc18.x86_64
to discover which rpm provides the specified file.  

Just to make sure, I tried the following, adding a ".rpm" in case of a
typo.
        $ rpm -i gnome-keyring-3.6.3-1.fc18.i686 -f gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so
        error: gnome-keyring-3.6.3-1.fc18.i686: not an rpm package (or package manifest): 
        error: open of gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so failed: No such file or directory
        $ rpm -i gnome-keyring-3.6.3-1.fc18.i686.rpm -f gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so
        error: open of gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so failed: No such file or directory
