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...
