I am so sure I answered this the other day, but...

You need to put a 'marker' file in /var/lib/cobalt -- that's how the 
RaQ 'knows' what PKGs are installed.

The filename should be contained within the "packing_list" file in the 
OS Update 5.0 PKG that you said you took apart to manually install 
the RPMS.

Go to /var/lib/cobalt and do

touch RaQ3-en-Update-OS-5.0.md5lst

to make the 'marker file'

Also, you should read the 'upgrade_me' script from the PKG and make 
sure you did all the steps.  There was a lot more to this PKG than 
just installing a bunch of RPMS...
