Hi,

It happens from time to time that yum is unable to remove packages when uninstall scriptlets fail. For experienced users, it is just a matter of doing rpm -e --noscripts, but casual users will likely end up with yum check complaining about duplicate packages etc. So
- Might the damage not be smaller if rpm just ignored preun scriplet failures?
- Could bodhi try installing and uninstalling the package as an autoqa step? I realize that scriptlet failures can be very dependent on the users environment, but at least simply typos which will fail all the time (like the one below) will get caught.

I did this to myself recently with a package and so I'd like to see this install/un-install idea implemented also if its possible. Or having rpm ignore preun failures.

Cheers,
