rpm -U is not the same as rpm -e and rpm -i.

That is what's done with -U:

    * Run %pre of new package
    * Install new files
    * Run %post of new package
    * Run %preun of old package
    * Delete any old files not overwritten by newer ones
    * Run %postun of old package

I guess that is causing the behaviour you see?

I don't understand what you are trying to do though.
