Description frank hollmann 2006-03-05 22:05:42 UTC 
According to the Spec-File for sysstat the cleanup in %preun does:

%preun
rm -f %{_var}/log/sa/*

Performance Date should not be deleted while updating a package.

Suggestion:

%preun
case ${1} in
   0) 
      printf "%s\n" "Uninstalling %{name} - removing sar Data in %{_var}/log/sa"
      %{__rm} -f %{_var}/log/sa/*
      ;;
esac

The file format is not compatible across different versions.
