The problem's not with kpackage, it has to do with distribution
incompatibilities--most likely the .rpm's were built with Red Hat in mind, and you're
using Mandrake, so the .rpm's said they needed the additional support packages, but
you probably had the right software installed, just not the right .rpm's. Or, more
precisely, the correctly-named .rpm's. Most of the time if you know you're correct
about what you're doing is to do rpm -i --nodeps packagename.rpm
