   Not really. The .uninst file simply removes any _record_ of its existance,
doesn't apply the old version of sendmail:

-----
#!/bin/sh

#Remove entry from installed software
/bin/rm -f /var/lib/cobalt/sendmail* > /dev/null 2>&1

# Update UI
/usr/admserv/cgi-bin/.cobalt/install/install.cgi < /dev/null > /dev/null 2>&1

# Delete self, how very James Bond
/bin/rm -f /var/lib/cobalt/uninstallers/sendmail* > /dev/null 2>&1

exit 0

   That may be enough to fool any package Sun comes up with, but it won't get
you your old sendmail binary back.
