I have been using that package.  I had changed one of Pascal's files by
adding a mirror to it.  That file *was* renamed to .rpmsave.  And I had
added a file manually to the /etc/smart/channels directory.  That file
was left in the directory with its name unchanged.  Those were the only
two files left in the /etc/smart/channels directory.  The other files
previously there, from Pascal's smart package for SUSE (the files I had
not modified), were all erased.
