Ok, I will wait for next (1.92) release.
But I found something what should explain my confusing about kpackage:
kpackage belongs now regular to kdeadmin and the old kpackage-rpm is still in
the distribution.
During a new installation, don't know why, but the old package overwrites (
--force ?) the new from KDE2.
This is the reason why I saw a different kapackage as after the update.
So I think this is at first a bug in cooker, that the old one is still there
and overwrites the newer one.
For the crashing new kpackage, I hope this will be fixed in the new release
because it starts and crashs, not possible to debug.
So please if you are consequent, remove the old kpackage, or put it in
contrib, change the install-destination or what ever.
