kpackage is obsolete in 8.0. Please use redhat-config-packages Well, this is a very bad idea. Wery much people needs kpackage, because it shows dependencies, numbers of versions etc. Why is obsolete? It is not possible to leave kpackage and redhat-config-packages at the same time? Redhat-config-packages is slightly unusable at this moment :-(
A very sad decision indeed. The KDE package manager is far superior compared to the Red Hat package manager. A few things the Red Hat program does not cover (even when paired with up2date): - installation of packages from other sources than CDs (e.g. internal FTP, site specific NFS locations) - updating from several sources (e.g. FTP mirrors for better speed) - full package listing - good control of what gets installed - removal of packages (RHPM states that it can do it, but I still haven't figured out how to even see the standard pacakges) In short, managing one machine is not very easy, especially if you have some non-vanilla packages. Managing more than one machine is a nightmare. I consider this a serious regression from earlier releases. Time to compile my own KDE, it seems.
