Seth Hall commented on BIT-1047:
--------------------------------

What's the status on this ticket?  Have we arrived at a decision with how to handle it?

We could certainly fix it in pieces too by merging Jon's branch related to deleting scripts before installing.  That would fix a lot of people's trouble.  It should be a good time to do it now too since we're still pretty early in the 2.5 cycle.

Daniel, would you mind taking this on?

> 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.
