The patchrpm check runs the scripts with the '-e' shell option
to make them abort when a command fails. This is done to catch
syntax errors in the scriptlets.
Thus, commands that might fail need an extra " || true".
Also, constructs like
foo && bar
are bad (the scripts aborts when foo fails), use
if foo ; then bar ; fi
instead.
Cheers,
Michael.
