A few problems:
* "| |" will generate a syntax error.
* You have to put a '/' at the beginning of the line
(rpmupdate should be less picky here, but it's not).
* This will pretty much screw SMP machines.
Is it really that hard to stash the release RPM list somewhere and
copy it in in the postinstall script?
If you do go with this approach, you might consider:
rpm -qa --queryformat '/%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}.rpm\n'
It's kind of a shame that you have to use all of
"%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}" to get back to where you were without
a queryformat argument, though.
