Hi John,

I too have been plagued with this problem.

On a side note, do you know how to get the old kpackage from the 7.x series
and others working in RH8?

Compile from source?

"I have succeeded in installing kpackage using the Mandrake 9.0 iso discs.

BACKUP THE RH8.0 SYSTEM
Use rpm -i to install the package liblcms from the discs
Use rpm -U --force to install the package kdeadm from the discs

This replaces kcron, kdat, ksysv, kuser, and kwuftpd and adds kpackage and secpolicy.

Kpackage seems to work fine so far. "
