How to make RPM installation fail if post script fails ?

["Lazzari, Catherine" <Catherine.Lazzari@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

 

I don’t know if this is possible, but my RPM consists of several files that are installed (declared in %files of my rpm.spec file), and also several steps to be done in post section, after these files are copied to disk. It is necessary for this rpm that it is not considered as installed if one of the steps I’m doing in the post section of the spec file is failing, so I’ve returned by exiting with non-zero value (hoping this would stop the installation procedure), but this does not help. Strangely enough, when un-installing (with rpm –e command), if some error occurs in my preun script, then the rpm is not uninstalled….

 

Is there some directive or special value to return for making the installation fails after installing the rpm files ? Or am I considering this the wrong way ?

 

Thanks a lot for help,

Best regards.
