Did you notice what version of Mandrake that package came from? Hint: You run 
9.1, that package is from cooker. Which at the present moment is Mandrake 10 
development. There are a _lot_ of differences between those versions.

Repeat after me: "urpmi is an amazing tool for installing packages because it 
will check for dependencies and satisfy them without causing undue grief to 
the user that wants to install a package. All it needs is media source 
repository information to do this, and a minimum of effort by the user."

But it can't do flippin' magic Mr. Other! (-;

Get pekwm from the "official" page and build it for your system with 
checkinstall. You'll be a much happier camper than you ever will trying to 
mix packages from different releases.
