Check in /usr/share/applnk (or wherever your KDE is). You probably have
the same items repeated with two names.

For example: whatever.kdelnk and whatever.desktop.

The .kdelnk is from KDE 1.x, the .desktop one is from KDE 2.x.

Remove the kdelnk ones.

This is a bug with the binary packages you installed.

It's rpm -q whatever, not whatever.rpm

kpackage can't fix a broken package. Did you do an install or an
upgrade?

Hope this helps, but much more detail is needed.
