Details
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)
Build Identifier: I used the latest build downloades from www.mozilla.org/start
It happened to me twice. Before I wanted to upgrade to Mozilla 1.3 using
mozilla-installer. It screwed up the whole envoirment where no commnds could be
find. I had to reinstall Redhat 9. then I was using the latest beta version and
it was working. Then the webpage www.mozilla.org/start said that there is a new
one available and I installed the mozilla-installer and follwed the steps in it
and again the whole envoirment is screwed up. I typed which it said no which
in /usr/bin.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Use redhat 9
2.Use mozilla-installer. Do which mozilla and tell the installer to install in
same place. It will like to delete the older version and say yes. Complete the
process and you will see that there are commands like which and so which are
broken.
3. There is a striking similarity in both cases I mentioned. When I tried to
shut down there was a red flag when shutting canna server. It seems that
mozilla-installer is screwing up canna server in redhat 9.
Actual Results:
see above
Expected Results:
Don't screw up my computer after I install.

Moving to the Install component. Seems more relevant. Reporter: do you know what
you were installing (was it version 1.3.1, 1.4b?)
Component: Download Manager → Installer
Where did the installer say the old mozilla version was located at?
This sounds like bug 69153

Reply to Jesiah S.
Mozilla-installer by default had the installation path as /usr/local/bin.
I did a which mozilla and found that it was in /usr/bin/. So I changed the path,
then it said it did found previous version and wants to delete it, I gave
permission.

what you have described is bug 69153. the default install location is not
"/usr/local/bin", but rather "/usr/local/mozilla". Mozilla expects that it owns
the directory it is installed to (and can therefore delete in it during uninstall).
