You are correct.

kdemultimedia shouldn't have this:
/usr/bin/timidity

at all, as it's not even timidity.  Kmidi needs the
real TiMidity++ and timidity-instruments to work.

One option is to have kdemultimedia require
TiMidity++, that way if someone installs
kdemultimedia, kmidi is guaranteed to work.

This is debatable though, as kdemultimedia is a big
package, and maybe it's not crucially important kmidi
work out of the box, so long as you can install
TiMidity++ yourself and have it work (and not be
constantly fighting the stupid conflict).

description: 
Could you please rebuild kdemultimedia to eliminate its conflict with
TiMidity++?  The conflict comes from /usr/bin/timidity and (I suspect)
a "conflicts" declaration in the kdemultimedia's spec file.

I had to rebuilt TiMidity++ and install it in /usr/local to avoid
the conflict, this also requires reconfiguring TiMidity++ so that
it will still look in /usr/share/timidity for the "instruments" it
needs from the timidity-instruments package.

Thanks much....
