Removed package leaves the package folder - why ?
 
I don't know why, but uninstallation of all my packages deletes all files but leaves a folders of the packages. I can't understand why... In debian packages it was easy - deleted all what was installed.
Here is a example of my .spec file. It's a simple package with only 3 files: .desktop, .png and aliendalvik-restart that located in /usr/share/jolla-adrestart folder. Only this folder leaves after uninstallation.
(I know, I know the "jolla-" prefix is for jolla apps, it's just example of my first package)
Code:

Can our experts tell me what wrong here please ?

We tried with Coderus to find the reason, but without success :(

I found one interesting explanation about postuninstall script (%postun): http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Howto/RPM
Code:

This will allow the programmer to distinguish different attitudes of his scripts depending on the operation: install or upgrade.
 
  • For install scripts ( %post, %pre ) check if $1 is equal to "1" then it is a first time install, not an update.

  • For uninstall scripts ( %postun, %preun  ) check if $1 is equal to "0", if yes then it is a full removal; if not  it is either an upgrade or an install --force of the same package.


Code:

To test this argument, the following 'if' statement is used:
 %postun
if [ $1 = 0 ]; then
    // Do stuff specific to uninstalls
fi
if [ $1 = 1 ]; then
    // Do stuff specific to upgrades
fi

In this way I can add rm -rf /usr/share/jolla-adrestart to this %postun section and it will work perfectly. But I still don't know if this correct way to do for removing packages...
Please any advice ?
