Any non-zero return code in scriptlets causes RPM to issue a statement 
about it.  When uninstalling, RPMs simply don't uninstall if the postun 
scriptlets fail.  I've not experimented with $?, but I would assume 
up2date could fully detect these issues as long as the scriptlets 
produce appropriate error returns.
