Hi,

However, now I'm finding that I can repeatably:

1) Install 3.1.0.0 of the rpm
2) -Uvh 3.1.0.3 of the rpm
3) The files under the original hierarchy disappear. The files under the secondary hierarchy become present. My %post that copies files from the secondary hierarchy to the original hierarchy doesn't seem to be getting run
4) -ivh 3.1.0.3 of the rpm
5) The files under the original hierarchy become present. It seems that my %post is getting run

It seems like %post is only happening on -ivh, not on -Uvh, even though the maximum rpm book says that -Uvh is basically just a -e and -ivh.

Has anyone seen anything like this before?  Is there a fix?

rpm -U is not the same as rpm -e and rpm -i.

That is what's done with -U:

    * Run %pre of new package
    * Install new files
    * Run %post of new package
    * Run %preun of old package
    * Delete any old files not overwritten by newer ones
    * Run %postun of old package

I guess that is causing the behaviour you see?

I don't understand what you are trying to do though.
