This explains a lot!

Im 
trying an update installation even when the packagenames 
changed.

But I think this could do it:
Maybe 
if I install a help-package without files with the new name and a versionnumber 
0
Then I 
install the new packe with the same name, a newer version and obsolete the old 
packages.

But it 
would be easyer if I could force rpm to think it is an update even if it is no 
update.

    So -Uhv does not work it out.

  The 1st argument to the script is used to detect whether installing or 
  upgrading.
  E.g. in %pst $1 >1 if upgrading, $1 == 1 if installing.

Renaming (and Obsolete'ing the 
  old) is not an upgtade case because the package
  is being renamed.

  What are you trying to do?
