I've tried to clean up and fix the xulrunner update to be able to update
correctly from the 10.2 version. This didn't work prior to -14 properly
for different reasons in some cases. The current package should be able
to update from 1.8.1b (aka 1.8.0.99) correctly but may fail for broken
installations from updates inbetween. The mess with xulrunner are
directories which should change to symlinks which doesn't work with RPM
easily.
I've just checked in a few changes to make it a bit more bullet-proof
(not completely) for updating messed up combinations.
If you got problems please uninstall all xulrunner packages and install
the latest one. Then you should have /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.8.1.2 as
directory and the symlinks /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.8.1 and
/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.8.1b (only on 10.2) to it.
Sorry,
Wolfgang
