For installing kpackage you need:
Qt 1.4 and KDE 1.1 libs
or
Qt2.0 and KDE 2 CVS
For listing Debian packages no other software is needed but to install and unistall the packages you need:
the DPKG package manager
Also, for kpackage to work correctly with RPM packages the RPM database must be initialised. If typing `rpm -qa' gives an error about `unable to open....` then try `rpm --rebuilddb'.
For BSD packages you need the package management programs:
pkg_info
pkg_add
pkg_delete
For Slackware packages you need:
installpkg
removepkg
For KISS packages you need:
kiss
For dealing with Redhat packages you need:
RPM and RPM-DEVEL: 2.3, 2.4 or 3.0
the same libraries as compiling RPM does. These are:
libdb - the Berkeley database library
libz and libz-dev - compression library
Later versions of RPM require the gettext routine which is found in libc6 or in libintl
RPM 3.0 may require the popt package
