Kickstart hangs when removing sendmail

[Ed Brown]

So you might try in %packages:
postfix
-sendmail

Or, in %post:
rpm -e sendmail --nodeps

But it is the hanging behavior that interests me, and I believe it
points to a bug in anaconda/kickstart somewhere.  I've also seen hangs
when rpm is executing within %post and encounters an error situation.
