One problem with such GUIs is that they lock the rpm database while they're running (not just while installing packages). KPackage doesn't do that - while I don't use it anymore, at the time I was running several instances of it concurrently with other RPM tools w/o a problem. KPackage was probably moved to its own rpm - try kdeadmin-kpackage. -- Oded ::..

Re: Where did KPackage go in RH9 ?
Hi, Grab kdeadmin SRPM, then extract .spec, and enable kpackage compilation in it. Then you may use rpm -bs and produce a new SRPM. Can u please elaborate on that, I understand that it's a way of extracting KPakage from the kdeadmin SRPM, but what exactly is the process of doing that ? thanks Erez __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: Where did KPackage go in RH9 ?
HI, I tried Synaptic, while it was ok for packages downloaded from RH I can't just do File-Open-SomeFile.rpm-Test Install-install I want to be able to downloaded an rpm then just install it without these long text commands. with Synaptic I can't even see packages that where not installed by Synaptic. I have installed some software using a rpm file but I cant even see them in Synaptic. kpackage makes low-level rpm operations too easy Y is that a problem ?
