[Koha] Display question

[Barton Chittenden]

Off hand, I would say that you would run into errors if and when you
deleted the bib record a second time... Koha will want to copy the data
from biblio to deleted_biblio then remove the bib record, but it will get a
referential integrity check if it tries. My guess is that you would have to
remove the record via the database.
