>Description:
	
acroread5 was dumping core on me, so I revert back to acroread4 after
pkg_delete acroread5

the install fails with "/compat/linux/usr/bin/strip not found".
once that's fixed, it fails with:

[ -e /usr/local/bin/acroread ]  || (cd /usr/local/bin ; /bin/ln -s acroread4 acroread)
ln: acroread: File exists

it seems the -e test is incorrect for a symlink that points nowhere.


>How-To-Repeat:
	

>Fix:

	

cd /compat/linux/usr/bin; ln -s dirname strip
rm /usr/local/bin/acroread

similar problems were reported when installing acroread5.
