OK, rpm q tells me I have bash-3.1-9.fc5.1 (I do keep my machines up to
date) -- and rpm -qf ("force"??) gives me that kdebase.

Hadn't even heard of the --verify option. Tried it, both as user and as
root. Both took a while (I know KDE is large, and I suppose kdebase must
be.), then went back to the prompt. Without reporting anything. 

So I tried rpm -q konqueror again -- and still got "not installed."

I also tried the big hammer -- the GUI that says "Add/Remove Software,"
and opens a window called Package Manager." That confirms that Konqueror
is supposed to be in kdebase, which is checked. (I did a search on
konqueror.) I went to list mode, made sure it was still checked, and told
it Apply. 

It's busy resolving dependencies now. Stay tuned. I don't often open this
app, but I've known it to do things that yum and pirut couldn't.
