[ILUG] kpresenter + rpm woes

[ILUG] kpresenter + rpm woes

I've been trying to install kpresenter 2.0 from rpm's.

Not really having much joy.

Current system is Redhat 6.2.

I decieded I try and install kpresenter for kde 2.0.

So I've been through a few iterations of download, install, find
new missing dependency etc.

Then I ran into rpm built with 4.0.  At this point I think I may 
have done something really silly.. downloaded rpm4.0 and 
installed it.

Now rpm doesn't seem to think i've got any packages installed at 
all.   So the questions are:

   * is there something I have to do to convert the rpm database
     to some new format for 4.0?

   * failing that how do i go about putting 3.x version of rpm 
     back?

I'm beginning to thing it might be simplest just to upgrade to 
redhat 7.0.   I'd sort of decided to wait until 7.1.  

John
