A simple way to disable it for single commands is:

complete -r <list of cli utils>

If it is certain use cases that conflict, you can override completion by
escaping the option. For example completion on a file with mplayer which
does not have a conventional "media file" extension.

$ mplayer someweirdfile[TAB][TAB]
someweirdfile1.ext someweirdfile2.ext

As for the specific case of yum and rpm, you can specify ./path/to/file.

HTH

PS: I just tested the escaping method, it doesn't seem to work any
more on F17. Time for a bug report I guess.
