Macros in RPMs are expanded before line continuations, so when we write %systemd_preun foo \ bar What happens is that it expands to if [ $1 -eq 0 ] ; then # Package removal, not upgrade systemctl --no-reload disable --now foo \ > /dev/null 2>&1 || : fi bar which is obviously complete garbage and not what we expected. It is simply not safe to ever use line continuations in combination with macros. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
