doug, can you reproduce this bug w/ m7 ? I cound not ...

(after installing and browsed fennec m7 from the commandline)
/usr/local/fennec $ sudo gainroot
Root shell enabled
BusyBox v1.6.1 (2008-05-22 10:32:35 EEST) Built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
/home/user # dpkg -r fennec 
(Reading database ... 17516 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing fennec ...
/home/user # 



**** NOTE: that message comes from a really long time a dpkg (itself) bug. See Hess' explaination:

as I pointed out in #1 it is an *really old* dpkg bug:

WONTFIX ? INVALID ? 

and I could not reproduce it, dougt ?

WFM ?
