Hi,
Why are you creating these directories in %post in the firs place?
If you create them in %install (empty) and own them regularly in %file and do the same on
the other packages that install thins on it, they will be properly removed when the last
RPM that owns them go away.
Regards,
Fernando

Subject: Yum Package Remove Order
I have been working on packaging software into RPMs for my company.
These RPMs create directories in %post into which dependent RPMs
install components. If I yum remove the main package it will be
erased first by yum prior to erasing the dependent packages. When
the uninstall scripts for the dependent packages run, they may fail
due to files and directories being missing that they expect from the
main package leaving things in an inconsistent state. Is this a bug
or known behavior we need to account for in some way?
Thanks.
