If you are sure that you installed it with rpm -i then: rpm -e --nodeps kernel-utils install the FC CD with lm_sensors and mount /mnt/cdrom cd /mnt/cdrom/Fedora/RPMS rpm -Fvh lm_sensors It shouldn't hurt to leave the packages installed unless you need the disk space. If lm_sensors complains then install kernel-utils or see if you can uninstall lm_sensors.
