Hi!

We are now using aptrpm for over a year now, and i'm still happy about 
doing that step.

Everything related to the package management has now become much easier. 
But there ist still something i can't track down to a solution.

When i upgrade a package where specific commands like adding or deleting 
a user are to be performed it seems that the postun tag gets processed 
after the post tag. So it's like that he installs and the removes the 
package, but correct would be to remove and install.

Anyone already experienced that too? Or does anyone know a solution for 
this? For some packages this makes things for the users really nasty...

Best regards,
