Kpackage isn't a packaging system. It's just an application to ease
administration of packages.
I think it was, once, the default administration tool in mandrake (but I'm not
sure). Mandrake has for many years now had it's version of apt-get called
urpmi, which is a layer ontop of rpm to ease installation of packages and
it's dependencies. There are quite a few urpmi repositories out on the net.

See the other mail I sent about that. In short, it does not work in general.
