Hi,

I tried installing some rpm packages (kde3) from the command line. It
failed on dependencies - seems that rpm thinks I have nothing installed!
I tried to run
  rpm --initdb
It didn't help. When I typed 
  rpm -qa
It showed nothing. the rpm program I use is the one that came with the
distribution (8.2).
I later installed these packages with the software manager, and it
worked. 
I guess that the software manager is just a front end to the same rpm,
so I probably have some problems with the parameters, but I have no idea
what it is. More generally, if I'm correct that these graphical tools
are just front end to command line tools, is it possible to make them
print what are the commands they perform?
