Yum Package Remove Order

[Fernando Nasser]

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
