I've got an rpm installed on a large number of machines. This package has a

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.
If you meant literally that an already deployed package is failing to
upgrade because
"rm -f /myapp" is failing in %postun, then adding
touch /myapp
to the newer packages %post will create the missing ingredient that
the already deployed package needs in order to succeed.
Otherwise you need to supply more specific details of why %postun is failing.
