I just upgraded to 3.05a and now KPackage fails.
joy:/tmp# kpackage
kpackage: error while loading shared libraries: librpmbuild-4.0.3.so:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
       

Seems like kpackage needs a rebuild:
http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=librpmbuild&searchmode=searchfiles&case=insensitive&version=unstable&arch=i386
*t
     

I got it to work with symlinks since I really don't need rpm's at this
point but I didn't quite understand what you are trying to tell me and
would appreciate more information.  I do agree that something looks broken.
   

It's that you don't have librpmbuild-4.0.3.so on your machine. In such a
case I go to:
        http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages#search_contents
and search all the distros. But erm - what I wrote before didn't much
sense. You just have to grab some package that satisfies your dependencies
and install it. And you can check kpackage's dependencies - maybe it's
missing a dependency on librpm4 - and report it to debian's maintainer
Chris Cheney <ccheney at debian.org> who will probably fix it.
 

Thanks.
AFAICT the 3.x.x versions D/L'd from other than debian.org are quite out 
of sync with the Debian packages which are 2.x.x.  I will mention this 
to Chris but I'm not sure what it means to the official Debian packages.

Thanks again,
Paul
