using the 1.3 version from subversion one still cannot successfully remove
installed rpm's

If you try and remove pki components via:

rpm -e `rpm -qa pki-\*`

It fails with:

Shutting down the default instance "/var/lib/pki-ca"
PRIOR to uninstalling the "pki-ca" package:

This machine is missing all PKI subsystems!
error: %preun(pki-ca-1.3.0-3.fc11.noarch) scriptlet failed, exit status 255

The problem seems to be %preun is trying to stop the service but the previously
rpm erased the files /usr/bin/{pkiarch,pkiflavor,pkiname}

Thus this code in the pki-ca init script causes the init script to abort.

if      [ ! -x /usr/bin/pkiarch   ] ||                                          
        [ ! -x /usr/bin/pkiflavor ] ||                                          
        [ ! -x /usr/bin/pkiname   ]; then                                       
        echo "This machine is missing all PKI subsystems!"
        exit 255

which then causes %preun to abort, which causes the rpm removal to fail.        

Also these files are left behind (these are init scripts and the fact they are
not removed via rpm -e is a very serious packaging failure)

/etc/init.d/pki-ca   /etc/init.d/pki-ocsp  /etc/init.d/pki-tks
/etc/init.d/pki-kra  /etc/init.d/pki-ra
