I'm getting a lot of yum errors lately. I'm seeing --skip-broken in my
sleep. Just now:
Failed: kde-settings-kdm.noarch 0:19-23.fc19
Here's what I did to get around the issue. I don't know if it's correct,
your mileage may vary, offer void where prohibited, caveat emptor.
This is after I did a yum update, so I had both versions installed.
1. yum erase kde-settings-kdm-19-23.1.fc19.noarch
2. rpm -e --noscripts --nodeps kde-settings-kdm-19-23.fc19.noarch
3. yum install kde-settings-kdm
4. yum check
5. yum info kde-settings-kdm

Step 3 will complain about missing dependencies, and the fact that
the RPM database was altered outside of yum.
I'll know if this cleaned everything up the next time I do
a yum update.
. . . . just my two cents
