This update caused an exit code of minus one for me which just hung. I 
did this update from a terminal.

When I tried to cleanup the aftermath, I noticed that the update makes a 
new version directory for every instance with the version information. 
This does not seem needed since this is a one instance package.
Anyway, when cleaning up, I had to remove the directory and content 
where the old package was located by version after removing the DB entry.
I think that simply the directory without versioning numbering would be 
fine. the aftermath noted ne to this factor. Most packages overwrite a 
non-versioned directory and do not have a specific version to remove. I 
do think that mozilla did this also which might not have been needed, 
since only one version is installable.
Anyway, I recovered from  the disaster but doubt the recovery was 100% 
clean due to versioned directories.
