Bug 807028

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #646284 +++

Description of problem:
When rhn-virtualization-host package is updated, the links of the service script under /etc/rc.d/rcX.d are deleted.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

  * rhn-virtualization-host (All released version)

How reproducible:

1. Check package's version.
  (e.g. update from 5.3.0-14.el5sat to 5.3.0-18.el5sat.)
  # rpm -q rhn-virtualization-host
  rhn-virtualization-host-5.3.0-14.el5sat

2. Check the registration of service script.
  # chkconfig --list | grep rhn-virtualization-host
  rhn-virtualization-host	0:off	1:off	2:on	3:on	4:on	5:on	6:off

3. Update package.
  # yum update -y rhn-virtualization-host
  # rpm -q rhn-virtualization-host
  rhn-virtualization-host-5.3.0-18.el5sat
  
  
Actual results:
  # chkconfig --list | grep rhn-virtualization-host
  (no outputs)

Expected results:
  # chkconfig --list | grep rhn-virtualization-host
  rhn-virtualization-host	0:off	1:off	2:on	3:on	4:on	5:on	6:off


Additional info:

A cause was found in the installation script of the rhn-virtualization-host.

  # rpm -q rhn-virtualization-host --scripts
  postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
  /sbin/chkconfig --add rhn-virtualization-host
  /sbin/service crond condrestart
  preuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
  /sbin/chkconfig --del rhn-virtualization-host
  postuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
  /sbin/service crond condrestart

The above script has not been considered for the state registration of a service script under /etc/rc.d/rcX.d/.

Even if we release a new package which includes the above patch, updating to the package doesn't work as expected because the updating uses preun section in old package. Thus, we need to update twice to get an expected result.

Updating from old package to new package(but old preun section is used):

It looks confusable, so if you have any questions please let me know.
