@mubertmumphrey: Yeah, no need to uninstall for upgrades. As for the uninstall, er, that's weird. Would it be possible to PM me your logs to check, because I'm pretty sure the uninstall is okay. What might not be is the shutdown of the hack before entering the update runlevel, so I'll check than on my end too.
EDIT: Nope, nothing wrong AFAICT. I'd really like to take a look at your logs (;dumpMessages) to see what happened
