Not at all. The OP is Running RH9 and has updated. Latedt RH variant is 
Fedora2 which comes with...

(wait for it)

SELinux.

It's just simply that the OP is trying to install the Fedora2 RPMs.

May I suggest upgrading to Fed2 or trying to find RH9 RPMs?[/quote]

Yes... Fedora core 2 has SELinux installed. but the Redhat 9 Kenrnel does not support SELinux,
so he is forced to install the SELinux dependency's even tough he will never use SELInux on that box.

And having to upgrade your operating system to get a single porgram to work is a Windows thing, lets not get than tind of behavior into linux.

by advice remains for this guy.. compile from source !

he is in dependency Hell.. and the reason for this is that K3B was compiled againsed Different Versions of the libraries he has...
to upgrade the libraries will kill all other programs that depend on them !

he Needs a K3B which is linked againsed redhat 9, and since he cant find one, the only way out of dependency hell is to make one !

its really not hard...

donwload the source code
tar -zxf sourcecode.tar.gz
or
tar -xhf sourcecode.tar.bz2

cd sourcecode
./configure && make && make install
