Bernhard Amann commented on BIT-1047:
-------------------------------------

Do we still want to add this?

It would be kind of nice for 2.3. I just noticed again, that if you install the current master over an old 2.2 release you get errors. One of them is my fault - function definitions moved from the ssl bif file (which no longer exists) to the x509 bif file. If the ssl one continues hanging around, it leads to a "already defined" error when trying to start Bro.

> People keep having problems when they install a new Bro version 
> over the installation of an old one because scripts that have disappeared in the new version will keep sticking around from the previous installation. 
> We should simply remove the old scripts/base and scripts/policy before installing anything new. People aren't supposed to edit in there so that should be safe.
