The argument is rather obvious, but before people ask: $1 is the number of packages with the same name existing after this rpm operation and is used in scriplets to decide whether this package is a first-time install, an upgrade or a final deletion. For kmdls this is the number of kmdls for this kernel/kabi, for kmods it for all kernels, therefore the kmod can never know whether it's a first time install/upgrade/deletion for the kernel it's being installed in. E.g. usage of $1 in kmods'scriplets is broken. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
