In an RPM post-install script, is it possible to know the previous version number, and the new version number of a package if it's an update?
I need to know this, because for a certain package, if updating from version 1.x to 2.x, I need to run a program to convert the config file of the package from version 1.x format to version 2.x format.
I've looked at SPEC file documentation, but haven't found anything relevant.
OLDVER=$(rpm -q --qf '%{VERSION}\n' <pkgname> | sort -V |head -1)
-- LF
