Timidity has kdemultimedia as a dependency. You can either install timidity by 
doing 'cd' to the directory containing timidity and then 
rpm -ivh --nodeps timidity-blah blah.rpm

It is possible that Timidity will not work properly, in which case you can 
remove it again, and download the .src RPM and compile it with
rpm --rebuild timidity-blah.blah.src

This will only work if you have the required compiler tools available, and 
-devel versions of the dependent RPMs (such as kdemultimedia-devel-3.0.5a )

Alternatively you may decide to undo the upgrade and reinstall the old version 
of kdemultimedia. My post from this morning re: kdenetwork tells you how to 
go about it.
