I did a little more testing (by creating a second revision of the
"trigger" package) and found out that there is no problem with the
current ttylogin.spec scripts.
When you upgrade a package, both the %postun and any triggers in the
package get run. So, when you upgrade the ttylogin package, first the
%postun gets run, which erases the /bin/login symlink and renames
/bin/login.orig back to /bin/login. Then, the trigger runs, which
renames /bin/login back to /bin/login.orig again and recreates the
symlink again.
All is well.
Sal.
