One of the problems about installing the current RedHat 7.2 RPMs is they were 
compiled on a non RedHat 7.2 system.  They require RPM 4.0.4 instead of RPM 
4.0.3 which is the RH 7.2 version.  What I did was hopped into the updates 
directory on ftp.redhat.com, grabbed the update for popt, the update for 
up2date and the update for rpm.  Installing all that broke up2date for 
whatever reason, but I never use it so it matters little anyhow.  kdeadmin 
needs RPM 4.0.4 (as it was compiled with it) for kpackage I would imagine, 
but if you don't care about that don't worry about it.  I never use kpackage 
as I rarely RPM software.

Another thing is, you can just trash the gphoto stuff because it's only needed 
by kamera.  If you don't have a digital camera, this is useless to you.  Hope 
this was helpful.  :)
