RPM manager ?

Does anyone know of a decent RPM manager -- something that I could use
to 'browse' through and see what's installed ?
Cheers,

what's wrong with rpm itself? Much better than glint IMHO (don't know
about kdepackage).

Well, one ncurses solution is purp:

For the console there's something called purp which seems to work
fairly well.
I just downloaded xrpm for X but it uses python and I guess Tk/tcl
which my python isn't configured for, yet. So I can't tell you how
well it works.

Check out "xrpm", try one of SuSE's FTP sites, links are at www.suse.com.
It's simple and easy to use.
If you use KDE you might want to check out "kpackage" or "KPackviewer". Find
links to these from KDE's website - www.kde.org

1. GNOME rpm-manager

What I liked about glint, was it's feature to show 'available' packages,
i.e. those downloaded on the HDD but not installed yet.

The GNOME rpm-manager (which btw automatically deleted glint during
install -- damn, I never asked it to!) just lists all packages in a certain
directory without sorting out the uninstalled ones. Or is it capable of
distinguishing the rpms by their status too? That would be nice.
