Try apt-get install kdeadmin or apt-get install kpackage/gnorpm. Also
try adding ayo.freshrpms.net to your sources.list file, they are a
great reliable source for updates.

gnorpm is not in the 3.0 install set.

kpackage is not in the 3.0 install set.


at least, I'm not clever enough to find them.



rpm won't list the contents of kdeadmin, which is where kde says
kpackage lives.


yum -C install kdeadmin says:

=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 "Gathering package information from servers"

=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 "Getting headers from: Yellow Dog Linux 3.0 base"

=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 "IOError - # 2 No such file or directory"

despite having

/var/cache/yum/base/headers/kdeadmin-7-3.1-1.ppc.hdr=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0

and

/var/cache/yum/base/packages/kdeadminkdeadmin-3.1-1.ppc.rpm

in place.

Same results for yum-1.01 and yum-1.98


So:


Do I really have a system installed that I can't add anything to
except the hard way? (since I can't connect that machine to the web)
