Hi Henri,

Smart stores its channels and configuration data in
var/lib/smart/config, which is a python pickle file and is not
intended for edition "by hand" (otherwise it would be in /etc/). You
can check if these channels are still being used by doing `smart
channel --show`.

The smart from Mandriva package will try to add these channels from 
ftp.ciril.fr every time you run it and there is no channel configured.
Try to rename the file /usr/lib/smart/distro.py and remove these
channels again. Please let us know if didn't work.
