WARNING: I have never used kpackage.
It's my understanding from the long ago OP, however, that the visual display of kpackage made it easier to not only view the set of installed packages, but to more easily pick out packages and groups of packages that could be removed from the system without disrupting the rest of your dependencies.


I have not yet seen a GUI package management tool that did this well.


I agree. I looked over it some more, and it does help reveal deps nicely. Still for an ordinary user, I cannot see kpackage (as it is right now) fitting in particularly well with Fedora as a primary package managing tool...

Maybe hack it some more so it can use yum repositories, then it will be very usefull.

Oh oh, I see a pointless project waiting for me.

Cheers,
Michael
