If you installed it using rpm -U or RPM -F then you may have already
had it installed. 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.
