Seamonkey not installed properly on -current
by burning from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5J14J)
I've recently reinstalled my slackware OS with a 14.2-stable DVD, updating/upgrading it to -current, followed by a "slackpkg clean-system" as per the general procedure.
I hadn't tried to use seamonkey before upgrading, but afterwards, I found that for some reason, it's not in my path, and upon trying to run it, my shell outputs that it doesn't exist. Running a whereis on seamonkey tells me it's located in /usr/bin/seamonkey , but what's strange is that whenever I try to cd into that directory - even as root - it says that directory doesn't exist.
Running ls seam* within /usr/bin prints seamonkey . The directory is listed as being there, but for some reason it doesn't seem to be accessible? Tab completion recognises it as being there too, but attempting to cd into it even using tab completion just outputs no such file or directory.
running slackpkg search seamonkey outputs:
Code:The list below shows all packages with name matching "seamonkey".
[ installed ] - seamonkey-2.53.7.1-i686-1
You can search specific files using "slackpkg file-search file".
bash-5.1#So it's supposedly installed...I really have no idea what's causing this. I've looked at my mirror in /etc/slackpkg/mirrors and it's a 32-bit mirror, which would be appropriate for my 32-bit system.
seamonkey is part of the XAP series of packages and as far as I can tell - some of the other packages from that series all work fine. It just seems to be seamonkey that's having this issue.
