[bgmilne@bgmilne SPECS]$ rpm --eval %_postun_userdel
/usr/share/rpm-helper/del-user %{name} $1 %{1}
So, rpm supplies the first two (%name, $1 which is rpm's number of
packages currently installed supplied to all pre/post scripts) arguments
to the script and the macro only needs one argument, the 3rd argument to the
script.
The real problem is that /usr/share/rpm-helper/del-user does not actually
run anything:
if [ $# != 3 ]; then
echo "usage: $0 <pkg name> <num installed> <user name>" 1>&2
exit 1
fi
pkg=$1 # name of the package
num=$2 # number of packages installed
name=$3 # name of the user
# del-user ends here
Whereas it should at least have
[ $num -eq 0 ] && userdel $name
(or something more verbose that logs this also ...)
