Description

Using yum or rpm to do a package upgrade (I built 1.6.0 and 1.7.0 packages for the test) with the new accumulo meta package the upgrade will trigger the post script inside accumulo-init which will attempt to execute the full initialization sequence.

While this could be prevented by using the argument passed to the post script (see http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/s1-rpm-inside-scripts.html) I'd rather like to see the post script go away entirely as it requires the system to be in a perfectly prepared state to work.
