Can't remove seamonkey-mozilla-build

I recently updated from Hardy to Lucid (and changed the ubuntuzilla repositories, as per the installation page at Sourceforge). I'd used ubuntuzilla to give me the latest version of seamonkey, but these days it seems like the repository version is current. I'd rather use the repository version because I have multiple Ubuntu installs on various machines and use the approx proxy on a low-powered home server to avoid downloading the same programs several times. But when I try to remove seamonkey-mozilla-build or install seamonkey-browser I get errors.

Purging or adding THE FORCE doesn't help. [INDENT] dpkg-divert --list |grep seamonkey local diversion of /usr/bin/seamonkey to /usr/bin/seamonkey.ubuntu[/INDENT]

I guess a diversion is missing or damaged, I'm not wise in the ways of such things, what can I do to remove the mozilla-build version?

Is this not the same issue interfering with removing Ubuntuzilla build of Firefox so that the new repo versions can install rightly?

Hello, GnuSense.

Based on what nanotube's instructions are in a similar Firefox related (un)installation issue, I assume that removing the interfering diversion before launching the uninstallation might help. > sudo rm -rf /usr/bin/seamonkey sudo dpkg-divert --package seamonkey-mozilla-build --remove --divert /usr/bin/seamonkey.ubuntu --rename /usr/bin/seamonkey Next launch the uninstallation of Ubuntuzilla SeaMonkey > sudo apt-get check sudo apt-get remove seamonkey-mozilla-build If the uninstallation is successfull rename seamonkey.ubuntu back to its original name provided the original Ubuntu SeaMonkey software is present on your system. > sudo mv /usr/bin/seamonkey.ubuntu /usr/bin/seamonkeyHTH, Karl

Thanks, I'll give it a try the next time I boot the system.
