30148 - profile migration doesn't leave a selectable profile

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 28243

(Core Graveyard :: Profile: Migration, defect, P3)

Description

[carljohan]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.7 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.14 i686)
BuildID:    2000022916

When a 4.x profile is migrated, the conversion goes fine but
mozilla doesn't recognize it as a valid profile.
Instead it ask you to create a new profile, even though
the converted profile exists.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
To reproduce:
1. build 2000022916
2. migrate a 4.x profile with 'mozilla -installer'
3. quit mozilla
4. restart mozilla

Actual Results:  mozilla starts the Profile Genaration Wizard
and ask you to create a new profile.

Expected Results:  mozilla should start with the migrated profile.

workaround: create a new profile, for instance mozProfile,
            'rm -rf .mozilla/mozProfile',
            'mv .mozilla/migratedProfile .mozilla/mozProfile'
            now your migrated profile works.

The same problem happens when you convert an old profile
with the profile menu.

Profile Manager bug, not a migration bug.  Reassigning.
