/sbin/ldconfig issues scriptlet ordering issues removing the packages immediately after installing the new ones doesn't guarantee that your system is in a usable state afterward. So you're in the same boat as far as an aborted transaction. It's perfectly possible it will work fine. Though I'm curious if the rpm devels have a good reason for the ordering as it is now. I seem to recall that rpm used to do ordering like that and switched away from it to how it is now. Writing our own ordering is do-able - just not sure it is worth the time it'll take to do it and then make sure it is correct/valid. -sv _______________________________________________ Yum-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum-devel
