Issue
I need to upgrade an RPM installed via YUM, which has an fatal bug in its postun section.
This will get run (and delete the program's user, which is what I want to not happen) when I run "yum upgrade".
I know that if I were using rpm directly, I could just use the "-nopostun" option to skip this section, but I don't see a way of accessing that option from yum's man page.
Anyone know a way round this?
Solution
(Answering my own question...)
It looks as though it might be as simple as doing "rpm --erase --nopostun" to remove the bad rpm, and then running "yum install" to reinstall the good new version.
