------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Apr 2 14:31:10 -0800 2005 ------- Problem: When updating, the script that creates the link in /etc to point to the installation of OOo fails badly because an existing link is not removed when updating, resulting in a link within the old installation-directory. The link is created with ln -sf /path/to/ooo-core01 /etc/openoffice.org-1.9 on first install, this works as expected, a link /etc/openoffice.org-1.9 -> /path/to/ooo-core01 is created. when updating, this command is run again: ln -sf /path/to/new_ooo-core01 /etc/openoffice.org-1.9 but this time, the link is not replaced as expected, but ln treats the old link as a target-Directory, so it creates /etc/openoffice.org-1.9/new_ooo-core01 -> /path/to/new_ooo_core01 real-life example: # ls -lg /etc/openoffice.org-1.9 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 25 Apr 2 20:30 /etc/openoffice.org-1.9 -> /opt/openoffice.org1.9.90/ # ls -l /opt/openoffice.org1.9.90/ insgesamt 244 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Apr 2 18:37 help/ -r--r--r-- 1 root root 798 Apr 2 18:44 LICENSE -r--r--r-- 1 root root 1377 Apr 2 18:44 LICENSE.html drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 4096 Apr 2 18:58 presets/ drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 12288 Apr 2 20:28 program/ -r--r--r-- 1 root root 11025 Apr 2 18:44 README -r--r--r-- 1 root root 10308 Apr 2 18:44 README.html drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 Apr 2 18:37 share/ -r--r--r-- 1 root root 185698 Apr 2 18:44 THIRDPARTYLICENSEREADME.html # ln -sf /opt/openoffice.org1.9.91 /etc/openoffice.org-1.9 [EMAIL PROTECTED] opt]# ls -lg /etc/openoffice.org-1.9 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 25 Apr 2 20:30 /etc/openoffice.org-1.9 -> /opt/openoffice.org1.9.90/ # ls -lg /opt/openoffice.org1.9.90/ insgesamt 244 drwxr-xr-x 4 root 4096 Apr 2 18:37 help/ -r--r--r-- 1 root 798 Apr 2 18:44 LICENSE -r--r--r-- 1 root 1377 Apr 2 18:44 LICENSE.html lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 25 Apr 3 00:29 openoffice.org1.9.91 -> /opt/openoffice.org1.9.91 drwxr-xr-x 16 root 4096 Apr 2 18:58 presets/ drwxr-xr-x 8 root 12288 Apr 2 20:28 program/ -r--r--r-- 1 root 11025 Apr 2 18:44 README -r--r--r-- 1 root 10308 Apr 2 18:44 README.html drwxr-xr-x 20 root 4096 Apr 2 18:37 share/ -r--r--r-- 1 root 185698 Apr 2 18:44 THIRDPARTYLICENSEREADME.html # ln --version ln (fileutils) 4.1.11 [...] P2 because this is rather ugly (but easy to fix, just do a "rm <link>" before attempting to create it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
