Hi, I just wanted to understand how RPM figures out the success or failure of its transactions. Say you have package "a" which depends on package "b". Say in package b's pre-installation script you define a command which won't succeed. So overall your pre-installation script of package "b" will fail during installation. Which means package "b" won't install. Now, when you do `rpm -Uvh a.rpm b.rpm`, a will install because its dependency is satisfied but b won't because its pre-installation script's exit status would be false. Does RPM plan to take care of this issue ? If not, is it because it is fundamentally not doable ? IMO, this is an important feature to tackle. Say you have apache. Your pre-installation script would create user apache/httpd/www. If that fails, by standards it should abort. What do you guys say ?
