SAP Note 1790812 - Problems with the SAP Host Agent rpm package

Component : Host Agent - Linux

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1790812 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
SAP Host Agent installation issues surfaced when deploying via rpm on Linux, specifically during uninstallation which throws error "%preun(SAPHostAgent-720.123-0.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 127". This problem arises if the SAP Host Agent is previously removed using 'saphostexec -uninstall' rather than the intended rpm method. The solution dictates using the "--noscripts" option with the rpm uninstall command to bypass this issue. It's advised to always upgrade to the most recent version of the SAP Host Agent (available in SAP Technology Components) to maintain compatibility and remedy such issues.
