Thanks for the info.

FYI, I'm actively addressing the net-snmp dependency (which
is due yo a patch I did in 1998 for the HR-MIB in net-snmp).

I will address the krpmview dependency next, basically by dumping
and maintaining tpm -qi content in sync with a rpmdb.

Be forewarned, it will take a year or more for the patches to be
picked up by net-snmp and kdeadmin, and for the rather minor patch
to rpmdb/rpmdb.c to be backported.

Sorry, there's no easy solution for the glibc versioned symbol  
dependency ;-)
