    I'm having difficulty with building an RPM file to upgrade. The issue
    comes when I need to add and delete a user. In the spec file I have it
    creating the user in %pre and removing the user in %postun. I'm using
    useradd and userdel to create and delete the user. When I build and
    install the RPM everything works as expected, same goes when I remove
    it. But when I do an rpm -U for an upgrade for some reason when all is
    said and done the user does not exist. Anyone know what's going on?
