This is HP-UX? If so, please explictly identify your platform in the
future, or you're gonna confuse everyone, including me ...

==> Yes this is HP-UX

Hmmm, you may need to pay attention to this, as rpm stats file systems
to compute disk space per mount point. Disable with --ignoresize if
you must, the right thing to do is fix the mount problem.

A failure to remove an already removed file is not deemed a criticla
failure,
although probably will be in the future.

Look at the bottom line instead:
        Is the file there or not after package erasure?

==> I didn't explain well. The file don't is here, it´s certain. But the
erased don´t continue erasing the others files. When the execution find
a file that isn´t in the place correct, it end. Haven´t to erase the
other files that are here??
