I have succeeded in installing kpackage using the Mandrake 9.0 iso discs. BACKUP THE RH8.0 SYSTEM Use rpm -i to install the package liblcms from the discs Use rpm -U --force to install the package kdeadm from the discs This replaces kcron, kdat, ksysv, kuser, and kwuftpd and adds kpackage and secpolicy. Kpackage seems to work fine so far.
