Thanks; I've fixed it.  Be aware that upgrading from 2.44 to 2.45 (when
2.45 comes out) will still fail, because the preuninstall scriptlet is
run from the old package, I believe.

Off topic: I hate RPM!  Does anyone have a *good* document where
all this stuff is documented?  Half the stuff in .spec files seems to
be undocumented magic.
