According to the kpackage manual, 2.2 Requirements For installing kpackage you need: Qt 1.4 and KDE 1.1 libs or Qt2.0 and KDE 2 CVS For listing Debian packages no other software is needed but to install and unistall the packages you need: the DPKG package manager installed Getting a prompt indicating that kpackage can't find a program in which I have no interest makes kpackage less usefu to me. I don't see any way to turn off the requirement. -- -- C^2 No windows were crashed in the making of this email. Looking for fine software and/or web pages? http://w3.trib.com/~ccurley
