Yep, it comes back to a root prompt. No details.

Same thing, except weirder. I run 'drakconf' from a term while in a VNC session
(wait 3 minutes for MCC to start cuz it's a P166), seemingly remove mldonkey
successfully (no errors from MCC), but when I close MCC, the term shows the
same output as before:
unable to remove package mldonkey-2.5.4+2-0.20040105.1plf
and when I do a 'rpm -q mldonkey', sure enough, it's still there.
I've tried removing and reinstalling other packages, and it appears to be only
this mldonkey package that is misbehaving so.
This is the first time I've ever encountered this in over 3 years of using
Mandrake :-\
