155208 - desinstalling Mozilla with mozilla-installer deletes /usr/bin

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 69153

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Daniel Saraga]

0. I use RedHat7.2.

1. I have downloaded mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-1.0-sea.tar.gz from mozilla.org

2. I have run mozilla-installer to install mozilla. I overuled the default
directory (/usr/local) and install it in /usr/bin instead.

3. I decided to reinstall mozilla. I ran mozilla-installer again. A message
window appeared, with the question like:

" A previous version on Mozilla has been detected. Do you wish to delete the
directory contents of your current Mozilla installation ? "

4. I ansered yes. 

5. Later I realised that /usr/bin was almost completely empty. I assume that
this comes from point 4. 

6. I had to reinstall Redhat.
