What would yum (or the resolver) If someone were to provide umbrello as a separate package while the kdesdk package from Fedora still contains it as well, you have a problem anyway, since it will also provide /usr/bin/umbrello. Unless the 3rd-party umbrello was packaged with this in mind, and install in some other prefix.
