Did you properly uninstalled 0.5 before installing 0.7 as mentioned in the Release Notes?

Sunbird v0.5 is installed in /cs/local/packages/sunbird-0.5 and Sunbird v0.7 is installed in /cs/local/packages/sunbird-0.7. We usually stage and test applications before we deploy them to our users.

We have doing it this way for Firefox, Thunderbird and SeaMonkey for awhile now. Has something changed with Sunbird so that you can't have two versions on the same system at the same time?

Thank You.

I've get the same message on my new Kubuntu 7.10 system.
It was the first installation of sunbird on this system.

Versions are old, please upgrade to 0.8. Sorry for any hassle the upgrade has caused. We are working on improving the upgrade experience.
