Description Roger 2008-11-11 00:27:33 UTC

Since the following package created these files, they should also be removed by the package also.  Otherwise, they will likely be orphaned files on the system.

Since FEATURES=collision-protect will make this package abort if the files are present on the system and this another package owns them, it makes this bug invalid. Besides, I got that "rm message" when the files didn't even exist on the system. Resolving as INVALID because there is nothing to fix here.

Comment 2 Roger 2008-11-15 09:02:29 UTC

ok.  Didn't realize those files were actually orphaned by another package.

<shrugs>  Not a perl expert, but was concerned about leaving orphaned files behind.
