Has anyone tried the kernel-utils-2.4-13.1 installation with --force in this same situation? is smartmontools-5.33-1.4 the latest package? (it seems yes)
smartmontools is not a Fedora Core package; where did you get it?
i suspect it's obtainable as a src.rpm at sf.net.
I suggest filing a bug report; there are reasons you'd want to update smartmontools independantly of what RH/Fedora do - eg to et new device sopport - and bunding smartmontools into another package like this complicates life to nobody's advanmtage.
