What happened to kpackage? I looked at it on Debian a while ago and it was looking somewhat respectable.


There's also a program called "Kynaptic" (yes, a KDE Synaptic clone). I played with it on SuSE for a while last month. It's not as feature-rich as Synaptic.


Kpackage rawks my sox. For just plain old GUI rpm installs I much prefer it to the GNOME-based Fedora GUI. Unfortunately Fedora sees no need to include it in their KDE distro. And I discovered by accident (as you state) that Kpackage has a nice interface with APT as well.

I've gotten around the "missing" KDE apps by using the KDE packages from kde-redhat.org instead.

"ftp://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt kde-redhat/fedora/3 stable testing"

....is a nice recent addition to my apt sources.list file. :-)

There are several KDE niceties I have now that I didn't have previously.
