---Problem Description---
rpm erase does not honour a non-zero exit code from preuninstall scriptlet. 
 
---uname output---
Linux kanyu 4.4.0-22-generic #40-Ubuntu SMP Thu May 12 22:03:46 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

A debugger is not configured
 
---Steps to Reproduce---
 Install the IBM MQ rpms 
create and start a queue manager
attempt to uninstall ( rpm -qa | grep MQSeries | xargs rpm -e) 
preuninstall scriptlets correct exit with status of 1 but rpm continues with erase.  

This is occurring on x86_64, ppcle and Z 
rpm on Ubuntu 14.4 and earlier behaved as expected, erase aborted on non-zero exit from preun
