No. It worked fine. You installed the *source* package. The srpm
does not get listed in the rpm database. If you go into
/usr/src/RPM/SPECS you will see the proftpd.spec in there and can from
there do "rpm -ba proftpd.spec" to rebuild the package.
If you want to update your proftpd install, you need to install the
i586.rpm not the src.rpm.
