This is a followup to my thread on OSR6, MP2 and Mozilla 1.7.12Aa
(the latter I had installed about a month after installing OSR6
and MP1).

I last reported that removing Mozilla 1.7.12Aa had righted my ship
again, but that report was a bit premature.

The removal operation removed "/usr/bin/mozilla" (a symlink to
"/usr/lib/mozilla/mozilla") and "/opt/mozilla" (a symlink to
"/usr/lib/mozilla"), so both Mozilla and DocView no longer worked.

Custom's Software => Verify Software didn't report the absence of
these two files, but a comparison of my master backup logs from
the night before and the night afterwards disclosed what the
problem was.

Recreating the two symlinks made everything hunky-dory again.

I also removed Mozilla 1.7.12Aa and see what you describe above. But
in /opt I found mozilla.bak which was a symlink to /usr/lib/mozilla.
Renaming it to mozilla was all that was needed to fix that one here.
There are also a bunch of symlinks in this directory which are now
broken due to the removal of 1.7.12Aa. They all end with '#' and point
to the 1.7.12Aa versions of the files so are probably harmless.
