The main problem currently is that rpmdrake installs nothing. When I
select any updated package and press Install selected, it brings up
"starting rpminst" window, after some time dialog disappears and that's
all. With strace I see that rpminst is started, it outputs "... extracted"
messages and that's all. Looks like rpminst believs everything is already
installed.
It was reported by several people (me including) on this list already.
