Hi,

Regarding commit fafd80901c129659d4d0c1945f5922858f410ef7, please
test if a refresh of a package which obsoletes itself works.
By "refresh" I mean the re-installation of an already installed
package.

i.e. if package A contains an "Obsoletes: A", try

    rpm -i A.rpm
    rpm -Uvv --oldpackage A.rpm

A package refresh shouldn't run the uninstall scriplets (for
whatever reason).

Cheers,
  Michael.
