Description Florian Weimer 2019-06-05 09:55:07 UTC 
The %postun scriptlet is buggy: It deletes /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive during package updates, not just during uninstallation.  As a result, it is currently very difficult to update to a glibc-all-langpacks package which installs this file.  See bug 1716710.

We should perform the deletion only if arg[2] == 0 (which signifies uninstallation).
Comment 2 Florian Weimer 2019-06-05 16:19:47 UTC 
We also need to drop the %config attribute to avoid creating .rpmsave files in the future.
Comment 4 Sergey Kolosov 2019-09-19 13:02:31 UTC 
Verified, glibc-lang-langpacks removes locale archive during uninstallation.
