David,
Did You install the newer rpmdrake? While upgrading to rpm 4.0.x I had same
problems, fixed installing newer packages with rpm -Uvh <package>.
If it claims conflicts with existing files of the same type add --force.
Neverthless I have to say that my newly installed rpmdrake and kpackage
don't work while rpm 4.0.12 does. Look at my other messages
