It is nonfunctional for me as well.  Download the rpm file and install
it using YAST.  YAST isn't as convenient as kpackage; but it still beats
dealing with tarballs.

1. Download the rpm you wish to install. Remember where you put it.
2. Login as root and start YAST.
3. Select 'Choose/Install packages'.
4. Select 'Install packages'.
5. You should now see the install window. It is probably, mostly empty.
Make sure that 'Source: (none)' is highlighted and press <enter>.
6. You can now select a source for your packages.  The options should
include 'Directory', 'FTP', 'Source medium', and 'Floppy'.
7. Select 'Directory' and enter the path to the rpm you wish to install
and press <enter>.
8. You should now be able to select the rpm for installation.  The
on-screen instructions should suffice from here.

Best of Luck,

Andrew L. Gould
