Hello Ned,

Sorry but I am a little bit confused. Now, it's the case : the script is 
in the %postun block for each RPM which needs it. But maybe, there is a 
misunderstanding. Are you talking about the script content ?

In my case, it's not a big deal because, if the binary is not here, that 
means the main app package is not here anymore and in that case it 
doesn't make sense to execute the script.

There are many ways of working around such a bug.

I thought the test way the best in that case. Of course it works, but it 
is a bit ugly and i don't think there is pretty solution for that.
