[Bug 207029] Re: firefox-2 postinstall points to wrong location of restart-required.update-notifier

[Mary Gardiner]

Regarding Alexander Sack's instructions to reinstall, I found that this
worked ONLY IF I closed Firefox first.

With Firefox closed, "sudo reinstall firefox-2" works:

Setting up firefox-2 (2.0.0.14+2nobinonly-0ubuntu1) ...
Please restart any running Firefoxes, or you will experience problems.

Processing triggers for libc6 ...
ldconfig deferred processing now taking place

--------------------

When I previously left Firefox open, it continued to fail:

Setting up firefox-2 (2.0.0.14+2nobinonly-0ubuntu1) ...
Please restart any running Firefoxes, or you will experience problems.
cp: cannot stat `/usr/share/firefox-2/firefox-2-restart-required.update-notifier': No such file or directory
