scriptlet failed, exit status 127 + RPM error

RPM error "scriptlet failed, exit status 127"

Sometime while patching the server, we may get message to delete some patches which create conflict.

And while deleting those conflicting rpms we get error something like this:

E

[root@cloud home]# rpm -e --nodeps ILMT-TAD4D-agent.i386-cs-cam.noarch

/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.XIuSM4[137]: /var/itlm/utilities/cit/wcitinst: not found [No such file or directory]

error: %preun(ILMT-TAD4D-agent-7.5-1.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 127

We are erasing the rpms using -e option and not removing the rpm dependency   (Reason : The dependencies could be part of other rpms and by removing it we may encounter problem for other rpms). 
--nodeps Do not verify dependencies

  

 Solution:

 Delete the rpm using --noscripts option. The --noscripts option tells the rpm command not to run any uninstallation scripts

--noscripts  = Do not execute verification script

[root@cloud home]# rpm -e --nodeps  --noscripts ILMT-TAD4D-agent.i386
