Hi, So i've apparently setting up the new spec, but if i would like to update Hipo to the newer version in yast appears the same error, now there is a way to remove completely the old version of hipo, considering that forcing a erase option is not possible.

linux-xxxx:/home/barravince # rpm -e hipo-0.5-6.1 /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.42486: line 1: fg: no job control

This usually indicates that a macro isn't available.

...

error: %postun(hipo-0.5-6.1.i586) scriptlet failed, exit status 1

As it says, the commands listed under %postun failed.

...

What can it be?

%postun %clean_icon_cache hicolor

Find out where this macro is defined and either remove the %postun altogether or make shure your package requires the package providing that macro.

BTW, there's a few nits I have with the package:

%define name hipo %define version 0.5

This isn't needed as these are defined by these entries:

Name: hipo Version: 0.5

%build ./configure --prefix=%_prefix --libdir=%_prefix/lib

What is installed in %_prefix/lib ? If any of these is architecture dependent, i.e. a binary file, it belongs in %_libdir (i.e. prefix/lib for i586 and prefix/lib64 for x86-64).

----------------------

%install rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT

Either don't do this at all and rely on the build system to clean up things or add a 'mkdir $BUILD_ROOT' (without the -p option!) directly afterwards.
