On CentOS 4.4, how can I diagnose "scriptlet failed" errors from rpm -e?

  • 772

While uninstalling an RPM on CentOS 4.4, I see 

error: %preun(mypackage-1.0) scriptlet failed, exit status 1

How can I find out exactly what it's trying to run, so that I can poke around in the script and find out why it's failing?

    You could view all Scripts included in a RPM with the following command:

    rpm -qi --scripts

    Or use:

    rpm -evv

  2. Worked it out... rpm -evv did the trick.
