I have this horrible feeling that when you upgrade an RPM, it calls the
"post-uninstall" script at a very odd time, like after it has run the new
"post-install" script or something like that.

I've just seen this behaviour myself this morning, and was curious about it
too.

Anyone know a definitive answer for where I should put the 2 "chkconfig on"
and "chkconfig off" bits in the RPM?
