First, to use Kpackage, the documentation says you need both "rpm" and
"rpm-devel"  [same version].    Have you installed both in the new
version?

"librpm" is on the files list for "rpm" so, I would try to install it
("rpm") again.  Use "rpm  -i  --force" if necessary since you don't have
Kpackage running.

Then you will need to upgrade to v. 1.3.10-7.  Be sure to get this
version, the one that came with RH 7 has a bug in it!!!
