Hi dear friends,

I´m getting some problems with kickstart.

I´ve created rpm package "libpos4000d", with some libraries inside...
I make some symbolic links at the spec file %post configuration
options.
And when I install it with the command 'rpm -Uvh
libpos4000d-1.2.0-1.i386.rpm'

We get these files (success): 

/usr/lib/libMrDisplaySerial.so.1.0 
/usr/lib/libMrDisplaySerial.so.1
/usr/lib/libMrDisplaySerial.so
/usr/lib/libMrDisplayUsb.so.1.0 
/usr/lib/libMrDisplayUsb.so.1
/usr/lib/libMrDisplayUsb.so	
/usr/lib/libpos4000d.so.1.3
/usr/lib/libpos4000d.so.1
/usr/lib/libpos4000d.so


When I´m installing my package libpos4000d-1.2.0-1.i386.rpm with
kickstart auto-installation.

We get these files (missing links): 

/usr/lib/libMrDisplaySerial.so.1.0 
/usr/lib/libMrDisplaySerial.so.1
/usr/lib/libMrDisplayUsb.so.1.0 
/usr/lib/libMrDisplayUsb.so.1
/usr/lib/libpos4000d.so.1.3
/usr/lib/libpos4000d.so.1

I think that the kickstart instalation process is erasing my links.

Anybody knows what it´s happenning?

Follow my spec file script above:

%define name libpos4000d
%define version 1.2.0
%define release 1
%define dir redhat
