Looking into the .rpm, this procedure WILL break your system.
the /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 will be replaced by a 32bit one, while the 64bit
one will be stored in /usr/X11R6/lib64/libGL.so.1.2 where no app will
ever look for it.
The correct locations are:
libGL.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/libGL.so
libGL.so (libc6) => /emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libGL.so
as ldconfig -p | grep libGL.so shows on a sane system.
just --force-overwrite'installing a deb created by alien from the rpm
will break your OpenGL subsystem.
<rant>
Using --force-overwrite as a magic bullet on every occasion, like more
and more people on this list seem to think of it, is a very bad
development.
Please help fixing buggy packages, filing bugs and patches, instead of
beating things into shape with a sledge hammer.

Kind regards
