[Server-devel] Possible Jabber Problem on Server

[John Watlington]

I was very explicit in my instructions:
1) Remove the package.
2) Remove the database.
3) Install the package.

Installing the package probably rebuilds the database.
If you re-install without removing the old database, the
re-install seems to re-use the old database.
