When I wrote the uninstaller for the old unofficial Sendmail PKG I didn't take 
into account that a second unofficial Sendmail package would be required at 
all. So when that package is uninstalled it reinstalls the original Sun 
Cobalt Sendmail from the FTP server and throws a wrench into the upgrade 
process of the new PKG. 

So the best procedure to install the new PKG is to remove the listfile 
/var/lib/cobalt/RaQ4-Solarspeed.net-Sendmail-8.10.2-C1sol1.md5lst first:

rm /var/lib/cobalt/RaQ4-Solarspeed.net-Sendmail-8.10.2-C1sol1.md5lst

Then install the new package either from the GUI or the command line.

Or attempting to install the new package twice will also work.

Sorry about that. I'll also put that info on the download page.
