actually, i didn't know about that rpm switch. you learn something new every day ;o) and i'm sure it's not a Kpackage bug simply because i never use Kpackage for installing packages, and i've had as much as 4 of each package. ( it happened to me with kde3 packages, which i installed with urpmi.. ) maybe it's a bug in urpmi's database handling.. i dunno. but it's worth some severe testing... Damian
