Description

I tried to update a package (rudder-agent) using "Packages" on a RHEL7 system.

My package is correctly updated but i have a reporting error

^[[31m   error: Error installing package 'rudder-agent'
^[[0m^[[31m   error: Method 'ncf_package' failed in some repairs

This does not happen on deb systems, i guess return code from yum is different when upgrading a package so it should be in the package methods

Subject changed from Updating a package with "Packages" technique makes a reporting error but package is updated on Centos/RHEL to Updating Rudder agent using the "Packages" technique fails in postinst

In both cases it's a rudder-agent package that fails at postinst step, probably because run by the agent itself.

The failure is real, the the technique is right (but rpm keeps packages install even if postinst failed).

The problem lies in the postinst script.
