Package: netscape-beta
Version: 4.0-4
/usr/X11R6/bin/netscape points to ../../lib/netscape/netscape (I think the
poster missed the lib in bug #10282). Netscape now installs to
/usr/local/netscape/netscape.
/usr/doc/netscape/copyright points to ../../lib/netscape/LICENSE whereas
the actual location is /usr/local/netscape/LICENSE.
If you rerun the installation without purging the package, lots of files
get backed-up by Netscape's installer to *.old. These files are not
removed after the install (IMHO another bug in netscape's installer).
On a purge, none of the files are being deleted (and certainly none of the
.old files are) as the prerm deletes /usr/lib/netscape.
I don't know how you handle plugins, but it may not be possible to simply
rm -r the netscape directory on a remove or even a purge if plugins go
there too (AFAIK they do, but I don't use any :-)
Thanks.
Adrian
