Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 4381
user re-installation fails
Last modified: 2003-09-08 16:53:51 UTC
If a user deletes their "OpenOffice.org1.0" directory, they cannot reinstall. To reproduce this problem, install OOo as root using "./setup /net" install method under "/usr/local/OpenOffice.org1.0". Then, and a non-root user, run "/usr/local/OpenOffice.org1.0/setup". After this completes, as the non-root user, delete your "~/OpenOffice.org1.0/" folder (ie: rm -rf ~/OpenOffice.org1.0/). Now try to reinstall by issuing "/usr/local/OpenOffice.org1.0/setup" again. You get an error message saying you have already installed OOo and that you must use the "local setup program to deinstall".
