[PLUG] installed application disappears !!!

[Chetan Kumar]

PLUG people
On a machine running Mandriva 2007 I had installed gaim and was happy
till I discovered
that it is no longer there !!!! Nobody could have uninstalled it. It
just disappeared !!! I used
it some time before discovering this fact. Need to do some detective
work to get to the root
of the matter (ignore the unintended pun please).

The machine is connected to the internet through a BSNL broadband
connection. There
were changes made yesterday in the morning with opedns IP addresses
replacing BSNL
ones in the resolv.conf. Another change was installation of maradns in
the meantime.

I do not believe in ghosts.
