But --force includes --replacefiles which *is* deadly in several
circumstances and hardly ever needed, because what it can do is this:

       --replacefiles
              Install the packages even if  they  replace  files  from  other,
              already installed, packages.

Using --replacepkgs or perhaps --replacepkgs --oldpackage is [more
than] enough, usually.
