It never works, not always for the same reason, but always something goes wrong. I've appealed for help many times but to no avail. The good news is that both kpackage and Gnorpm work a treat and using rpm or urpm from the command line work and are really not too difficult. I suggest that you try these alternatives,. Good luck. -- Peter Watson
