MailScanner v5.0.3-7 upgrade install

[Jerry Benton]

- It seems the uninstall script in 4.85.2 is what is broken.

warning: %postun(mailscanner-4.85.2-1.noarch) scriptlet failed, exit status 2


- There should be saved files in the /root directory from your upgrade.

Here is the logic that creates it from the spec file:

# back up their stuff
SAVEDIR="$HOME/ms_upgrade/saved.$$”;

Your /etc/MailScanner/conf.d files are not touched.



- If you roll back a snapshot, I suggest making a copy of your
configs, totally remove 4.85.2 first, and then install v5. Note that
you should be using /etc/MailScanner/conf.d for your config changes
instead of editing /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf directly.


- If you want to manually fix this:

confirm a copy of your configs is in the /root directory
copy your /etc/MailScanner/conf.d files somewhere
rpm -e mailscanner
rm -rf /etc/MailScanner
rm -rf /usr/lib/MailScanner
rm -rf /usr/share/MailScanner
rm -rf /var/lib/MailScanner

Leave the /var/spool/MailScanner in place.

It is ok if you get does not exist errors from the above rm commands.
Now run the v5 installer.

copy your configs to /etc/MailScanner/conf.d
