This is why I thought it was an error message... you used the
expression "error-message" to describe it to me :-)

OK, so that suggests that the bug is or was with Linuxconf. Since
you're the only one so far to see this, don't worry too much about
duplicating it if you only have production machines to work with.

That could be. Jacques, do the uninstall/install scripts inside the
RPM actually run Linuxconf with i/o redirected to the console? That
could be rather dangerous when installing it (rpm -uvh ...) remotely
<grin>!
I'm concerned because this sounds like a sufficiently messy problem to
get many people who encounter it very confused... so (to my way of
thinking) if we can discover how it happened and prevent others having
to suffer it, that would be worthwhile.
OTOH, maybe I'm just paranoid and Jeroen is the only person in the
universe that this will ever happen to!?
