My error is:

error: failed dependencies:
         TiMidity++ conflicts with kdemultimedia-3.0.5a-1.1mdk

My command line was:

rpm --nodeps --force -vv -U TiMidity++-2.11.3-1mdk_1kc.i586.rpm

I found what works is:

rpm -vv -U --force --nodeps TiMidity++-2.11.3-1mdk.i586.rpm

So the command line options —force and —nodeps are order dependent. I guess that might make sense if one could turn force/deps on and off between package names listed on the command line. But, I don't know of any ways to do that.

rpm -options packagename.rpm --nodeps
