154593 - Linux update deletes old version

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 69153

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Ajay Gautam]

From Bugzilla Helper: (I fillied this form out from windows)
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.1a+) Gecko/20020627
BuildID:    2002062404

A few weeks back, I installed the latest (nightly build) on Mandrake 8.2 on my
laptop. Everything went fine.

On 6/24, I downloaded the nightly build and started installing it. After
extracting files, the installer told me that an earlier version of mozilla was
in /usr/local/mozilla and asked me if I wanted to "Delete" it or "Cancel"

Well, I wanted the latest, so I selected "Delete". Now, the problem is that what
ever plugins I installed are all gone, as I "deleted" the old directory.

Can you guys please make the Linux installer "update" the existing installed
version, instead of "deleting" and "re-installing" ? Similar to what the windows
installer does.

Thanks

Ajay Gautam

Reproducible: Always
