My immediate problem is my preferred browser is Mozilla - er - Seamonkey. I couldn't find it with yum, nor with Google, nor can I see that anyone's asked about it for SL5.

Does anyone have it? or should I just build it myself? Might have a src.rpm around here someplace....


I had the same problem and I actually asked about seamonkey for SL5 on
this list before you did, John.

I recommend building this src rpm from releases.mozilla.org:
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/releases/1.1.2/contrib/FC_RPMS/source/seamonkey-1.1.2-1.src.rpm






Hmm. A mere 34 mbytes. Okay, I pull bigger things through my modem. Thanks Paul.

Er:

Is there a good way to see what the problem is?


rpm -qp --scripts /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/seamonkey-1.1.2-1.i386.rpm
rpm -qp --scripts /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/seamonkey-mail-1.1.2-1.i386.rpm

Note: You don't have to be root to look at the scripts.

That tells me why I can't see why some of them didn't work. But take this for example:
preuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
# is a final removal?
if [ "$1" == "0" ]; then
  /bin/rm -rf /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo
  /bin/rm -f /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/*.rdf
fi

(it appears twice).
That should not produce any error unless something goes wrong and the only thing I can think of is that root cannot delete those files.


If you are doing an upgrade, then the

if [ "$1" == "0" ]; then

fi

will see that you are doing an upgrade and not run the code in there.
Why this is failling ... I'm not positive.

I couldn't see why either path might fail, and I can't see what exit code 255 might mean.

Since the version number's changing, stuff in there gets orphaned. I have:

06:23 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ ls -dl /usr/lib/mozilla-*
drwxr-xr-x 11 root 4096 Jun 18 19:37 /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8

seamonkey-1.0.8-0.2.el4

and on a CentOS4 box where I've been thoroughly conventional:
