Subject: Re: MailScanner 4.78 install Perl module deletion issue

There is a "--inturn" option to the install.sh script that will stop it 
deleting all the old RPMs at the start, but wait until it is just about 
to install the new one before it deletes the old one, which may make the

installation more robust.

Exactly what version of Linux were you installing it on? '--inturn' is 
the default for recent Fedoras, but that's about it. You should be able 
to run "./install.sh --help" to get the usage.

Jules.
