Thanks Tres, I tried that in %pre and in the case of condition failure gave a exit 1. That works fine, but I get the message "error: %pre(ABC-1.1-b13p1) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping ABC-1.1-b13p1" Is it possible to suppress this error message and give my own message ??

Is it possible to check this using %ifXXX or like xxx_canon > tags? What are the possible value for xxx in these ?? The interesting one in your case is '%pre'. Check out the online version of Maximum RPM for details.
