[Bug 30791] Re: firefox 1.4.99 upgrade still have compreg.dat, creates issue

[Ian Jackson]

As discussed on IRC with seb128:

I will change the firefox postinst to delete
/usr/lib/firefox/components/compreg.dat (grumbling to stderr if it finds
it).

I don't think this will solve the problem - the file is being created by
some other package's maintainer scripts, and that other package is
probably a mozilla embedder, so it's quite likely that compreg.dat is
created after firefox is upgraded.

However, it may help in some cases and it will definitely make it easier
to fix the problem when you don't know what it is - just reinstalling
firefox will fix it.

We will take a more serious approach to finding this problem in edgy+1,
since it is evidently not just an issue with breezy/dapper.
