Roman Shaposhnik commented on BIGTOP-84:
----------------------------------------
I'm inclined to fix this by disregarding the exit code from the alternatives
command. Something along the lines of:
alternatives --remove XXXX || true
Please let me know if there are any objections to it
> Package removal fails in case alternatives are deleted or damaged

> Quite a few of our packages use alternatives --remove mta in there
> pre-unistall steps. This works fine for as long as the alternative is there
> and is not damaged, but prevents package removal in any other case:
> # rpm -e hadoop-hive
> ....
> error: %preun(hadoop-hive-0.7.1+42.4-2.noarch) scriptlet failed, exit status 2
