Libkdefakes is a "fake" library. I don't know exactly what that means or why
it's called in the install, but the Mandrake testers were told they could
safely ignore this dependency. If it's the only thing that's preventing the
install, then use "--nodeps".
Apmd is on the 7.2 install CD. According to the description it's for laptop
installs, but the Mandrake testers were told it also has a function in the
KDE bug-reporting system and 2.1 needs it for this. Use the Package Manager
with the 7.2 CD mounted and search for "apmd", then install this package. I
think it's probably preferable to do this before installing 2.1 but I suppose
you could again use "--nodeps" and do it after.
Cheers.
