   .kdelnk is a KDE Link file, used by menus and KFM/Konqueror.  It is not

Now, I haven't run KDE for ages, but iirc (which I probably don't), KDE's mime links are something similar to associations or filetypes under other systems.
E.g., waves might be associated to RealPlayer from now on. It's no big deal, just force it. If you don't want that to happen, just do a copy before the rpm installation, and then restore it.
