Hi,

i dont understand the problem. i install all the updates and after
that i install the latest version of poprelayd. In the webadmin i get
a message like this"Overwrite the previous version of poprelayd" (dont
remember the exact phrase) i klick ok, thats all.

i dont deinstall poprelayd by hand.

Everything works fine.
