William,
The instructions below should work just fine. I just tried the apt-get
remove on a system. Here is what I found:
sudo apt-get remove fossology, only removed the fossology package. As a
second step I did a sudo apt-get autoremove to remove the rest of the
fossology packages. This worked just fine. The existing fossology db
is still there with all the data, just the package got removed. Just
what we wanted.
Just in case it wasn't clear, if you want to remove source install files
the fo-cleanold util can be used. It's in the utils directory of the
sources. DO NOT use the --delete-everything option! It will remove
your DB. Just run it with no options.
sudo utils/fo-cleanold.
Please let us know how this worked. You are the first person trying to
upgrade from a 1.1.x release to a 1.2.1 release.
Hope this helps.

Hi William,
Yes, you can use the following procedure to upgrade from 1.1.1 to
1.2.1 on Ubuntu:
1. Stop the scheduler & db server
a. sudo /etc/init.d/fossology stop
b. sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql stop
2. Remove the current install (this will NOT remove the
database or repository)
a. For package installs, use apt-get remove fossology
b. For source installs, use fo-cleanold from the source tree
3. Install FO 1.2.1 from sources using the steps outlined in the
Ubuntu 10.04 install guide
<http://fossology.org/ubuntu10.04_install_guide>.
Mark - Please confirm or make corrections, as necessary. If these
instructions are correct, let's post them to the website for future
reference.
Mary
