Update package A with a newer Version B > 3. oops :) I'm confused by your lettering. Use of "A" and "B" would tend to indicate that "B" is a package with a different name, SRPM, etc. from package "A". However, it's also possible you meant that "B" is a newer version of package "A" (which is confusing). Which did you mean? If upgrading package A version 1 to version 2 deletes a user, the most likely culprit is that the %preun or %postun scriptlet is poorly written so as to fail to take into account the $1 parameter during an upgrade. See the following URL: http://wraptastic.org/maxrpm/max-rpm.html#s2-rpm-rw-build-finishing-touches Read the Creating (Un)Install Scripts sections vary carefully, paying close attention to any mention of "$1" or the scriptlet "argument."
