It's that you don't have librpmbuild-4.0.3.so on your machine. In such a
case I go to:

	http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages#search_contents

and search all the distros. But erm - what I wrote before didn't much
sense. You just have to grab some package that satisfies your dependencies
and install it. And you can check kpackage's dependencies - maybe it's
missing a dependency on librpm4 - and report it to debian's maintainer
Chris Cheney <ccheney at debian.org> who will probably fix it.
