Could you please check if this is equivalent to the behavior reported in Bug 66956?
It may be. I also had problems at times with "rpm -e <packagename>" followed by "rpm -q <thatpackagenameIjust-e'd> in listing it still was there. "[root@w1 zip]# rpm -Uvh xforms-0.88.1.KSI2-3.i686.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:xforms ########################################### [100%] [root@w1 zip]# rpm -e xforms-0.88.1.KSI2-3.i686.rpm error: package xforms-0.88.1.KSI2-3.i686.rpm is not installed [root@w1 zip]# rpm -e xforms-0.88.1.KSI2-3.i686.rpm error: package xforms-0.88.1.KSI2-3.i686.rpm is not installed [root@w1 zip]# rpm -q xform package xform is not installed [root@w1 zip]# rpm -Uvh xforms-0.88-9.i386.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] package xforms-0.88.1.KSI2-3 (which is newer than xforms-0.88-9) is already installed" I don't know if "rpm -rebuilddb" and "rpm -initdb" will help?
This line: [root@w1 zip]# rpm -q xform should be: [root@w1 zip]# rpm -q xforms Verify that the installation was successful by querying that package info with "rpm -qi xforms". Does that take care of that problem? Also can you please test the specific behavior reported in Bug 66956 to see if that causes the kpackage crash? The bug cannot possibly be fixed if it cannot be isolated.

Ok, "xform" my bad. Should have been "xforms" works fine. Kpackage de-install of "mysql" and "mysql-server" was uneventful. Trying to de-install "gnome-pilot" and "pilot-link" I get a crash. From the "strace" and the console debug messages it looks like unresolved dependencies that are not reported by "kpackage". Even a "query" results in a Krash.
kpackage has been removed since rhel3. please report bugs directly to bugs.kde.org. Thanks
