Dependency may get overruled when uninstalling multiple RPMs in a single command [3563254]

When performing uninstallation of multiple RPMs through a single comment, the system identifies and follows the specified dependency among the RPMs as the uninstallation progresses. However, if the pre-uninstallation script fails for any of the RPMs, the system does not abort the task but instead uninstalls the remaining RPMs.

For example, if you run rpm -e VRTSllt VRTSgab VRTSvxfen where the RPMs have a dependency between each other, the system bypasses the dependency if the pre-uninstallation script fails for any RPM.

Workaround: Uninstall the RPMs independently.
