workaround for broken postuninstall during upgrade?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I’ve got an rpm installed on a large number of machines.  This package has a defective postuninstall script (eg, “rm –f /myapp”) which will remove new payload content in an upgrade.  We need to find a creative solution which allows users to upgrade this broken rpm, ideally via “up2date –u myapp”.  Is there any way to provide an upgrade, combination of new packages, or trigger which can do this?   I do not as yet know any way to prevent the bad package postuninstall or force the bad package to completely uninstall itself before upgrading with a new package.
