rpm version used: rpm-4.2.1-4.2 (with RH EL3). I have an rpm package that works fine with rpm -e / rpm -i, but rpm -Uhv shows results in the following order, which seems illogical to me. %pre (new ver) %post (new ver) %preun (old ver) %postun (old ver) This obviously causes problems for me because the postun does some cleanup of files that the post-install conditionally set up. Can someone help me understand why rpm -Uhv isn't ordered like this: %preun (old ver) %postun (old ver) %pre (new ver) %post (new ver) Maybe there is a later version of rpm that handles this differently, but I would like to find a way to handle both rpm -i and rpm -U cleanly with rpm-4.2 and later.
