Hi Caleb, I too have this problem. I simply pipe the shell script from openpkg build -ZaKB to a file and use a little awk'ing to fetch all the dependencies, then upgrade from that local mirror. You can just fetch the whole tree from FTP, but that takes a lot longer if you're only using a subset of the packages. IIRC, this is a result of using an older version of RPM in OpenPKG. There is a project to update the version of RPM, but Ralf/Thomas would be better able to explain that.
