install.sh creates a soft-link to /usr/bin/consolehelper

If you subsequently run install-noconsolehelper.sh, it will write an "opcontrol" script on top of the existing soft link to /usr/bin/consolehelper, corrupting it.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. cd org.eclipse.linuxtools.oprofile.core*/natives/linux/scripts
2. sh ./install.sh
3. sh ./install-noconsolehelper.sh
4. observe that /usr/bin/consolehelper is now a two-line script which invokes sude on opcontrol.
Comment 1 Corey Ashford CLA 2011-04-14 14:57:24 EDT 
install-noconsolehelper.sh needs to be fixed so that it first removes any existing opcontrol script/link/etc before creating a new script.

I'll submit a patch that does this later today.
Comment 2 Corey Ashford CLA 2011-04-14 14:58:36 EDT 
I should note that if you do happen to run into this problem, you can fix the corruption by running:

yum reinstall usermode
