Hi, No, I am not talking about those 'hpasm, hprsm etc' packages but vlan_init-1.0.1e-1.linux.rpm, which only contains the script, config files and text file to configure VLAN's on HP server. Thank you for the help, actually to put this package to the %post section worked.

Are you talking about the HP server management tools RPMs (hpasm, hprsm etc.)? I install them post-install, post-reboot. They are quite haphazardly packaged - I found my /etc/shadow gone when I included these RPMs in the install tree. They have other problems too, viz: - Some of them are packaged with rpm v3, so if I sign them with rpm v4 (to provision via my RHN satellite), they become corrupted. I need to run up2date --nosig only for them. - They include files which are deleted as part of post-installation configuration - a one-time configuration utility is installed in /sbin which will delete itself at the end of its own first run. Messes up rpm -V. - They create symlinks in %post (and delete them in %preun) instead of packaging those in. - Some of them run gcc in %post to compile modules for the running kernel. To be fair, I don't know how this can be avoided.
