Greets,

Strange proble happened. Mozilla worked fine, then during one time at execution, I hit ctrl-c and then it started giving bad bus error (something like that). Reboot didn't solve problem.

I did a fink remove mozilla (nothing really seemed to happem with this -- as far as the actual files getting deleted).

Anyway, I also tried fink install mozilla after that, and it just reports:

sudo /sw/bin/fink install mozilla
Information about 1918 packages read in 1 seconds.

pkg mozilla version ###
pkg mozilla version 1.1.0-4
No packages to install.


--

How can I completly remove this package and then reinstall it so I can have a working copy of it again?

I have tried fink index as well, with no luck. Hopefully someone can help me out here, or let me know someway I can get mozilla installed again. thanks guys.

You seem to have some corupted mozilla files, you should clean up $HOME/.mozilla and $HOME/Library/mozilla.

This should help getting mozilla working again.

Problem is, once I got frustrated, I removed the mozilla packages (the actual .tgz files), and it finally re-installed, but for some reason it did not install the binary mozilla!

Anyway I can get those packages back with fink, and then do a reinstall? Thanks.

Sorry, using RH Linux, but try the following:

1. sudo fink update-all - that should update the listing of packages.

2. sudo dselect - follow the on screen prompts and find the mozilla bundle and select it for removal.

OR....

fink list will list out the packages, just find the exact name of the mozilla package and try your remove once more.

Sorry I'm not more help...
