Hi all,

I've cleaned up testing a bit: - moved xulrunner/seamonkey/firefox and friends to extra. This is part of the /usr move

Any idea why an /opt/mozilla/lib directory is still created by one of those packages? It doesnt seem to be part of any of these filelists. I wanted to ask this when the packages were still in testing but totally forgot to. Greg

Is it just the empty dir - ie no files inside? It may be inefficient, but pacman -Ql | grep /opt/mozilla/lib will see if any packages create it (since I don't think you can do -Qo on a dir)

It was just the directory otherwise it would be easy to find out with -Qo. Its been like 10 days i have removed the directory and the path may be a bit deifferent, not sure 100%. And by the way it was a fresh install on my reborn 2nd Archlinux installation. I have firefox & flashplugin only installed so its probably one of them creating it later for some reason when run. People updating now, and not only, should be able to verify this. Greg

Looks like the mozilla-common package. It still keeps the legacy dirs around just in case some old packages need it.

There is also some "lint(ing)" in the /opt/mozilla hierarchy you might want to mention in your bug report. Very best regards; Bob Finch Liviu Librescu - În veci pomenirea lui. (May his memory be eternal.)

Uh, sure thing !:12 09:24 pkgconfig drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-02-07 21:25 plugins The pkgconfig was probably NOT ls -al /opt/mozilla/lib/ total 16 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2008-02-07 21:25 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2008-02-07 21:25 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-12-12 09:24 pkgconfig drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-02-07 21:25 plugins The pkgconfig might NOT have been created by mozilla et al BUT if mozilla is removed from /opt for /usr , well this remains nonetheless.

The pkgconfig was probably NOT

ls -al /opt/mozilla/lib/ total 16 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2008-02-07 21:25 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2008-02-07 21:25 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-12-12 09:24 pkgconfig drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-02-07 21:25 plugins

UG... !! How did that weirdo cut and paste happen ? Um, here it is again, hopefully properly formatted; ls -al /opt/mozilla/lib/ total 16 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2008-02-07 21:25 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2008-02-07 21:25 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-12-12 09:24 pkgconfig drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-02-07 21:25 plugins -Bob Finch
