} Sure is too :)
One problem I noticed with the upgrade was that it puts stuff back on
the machine that I had pulled off, even after having done an "rpm -e"
to get rid of it, so that it should no longer be in the rpm database.
Imagine my chagrin to see sendwhale^H^H^H^H^Hmail back on my wife's G3
after upgrading from 1.0 to 1.1, because blowing away sendmail and
installing qmail is the first thing I do on any Unix box after getting
control of it. The installer also did nasties to my from-source perl
installation in /usr/local, because I had symlinks from
/usr/local/lib/perl5 to /usr/lib/perl5, etc., just in case there were
scripts lurking around that exepcted them in the "right" place. Is
there a way of make an upgrade behave a little better?
