The sas_snmp-3.17-1118.i386 package as provided by LSI in the Megaraid storage manager package is buggy and fails to uninstall.  This even blocks upgrades to newer versions of this package.  Unfortunately, I have this package installed on a lot of systems and I ended up having to manually resolve a bunch of puppet run failures when I placed updated rpms in my local “lsi” repo.

This is the procedure to resolve the failure:

# rpm -e sas_snmp.i386
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.Htmwit: line 1: /etc/lsi_mrdsnmp/sas/uninstall: No such file or directory
error: %preun(sas_snmp-3.17-1118.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 127
# rpm -qa | grep sas_snmp
