Hi,

Good to see that the Amaya RPM adds GNOME menu entries on GNU/Linux now.

One thing I've noticed for a while is that the RPM creates two links on
install:

- /bin/ln -s /usr/share/Amaya-9.3/wx/bin/amaya /usr/bin/amaya_wx
- /bin/ln -s /usr/bin/amaya_wx /usr/bin/amaya

But on uninstall only removes one of them:

- rm -f /usr/bin/amaya

So if you erase and reinstall the RPM you get an error because the
symlink already exists.

If you're changing versions, you also can't launch Amaya because it's
the amaya_wx link that's not erased and it's pointing to the wrong
directory.

Maybe I should have mentioned this before you rebuilt the RPMs.

Sorry!
