+urpme --auto-orphans just call 'rpm -e', it does not change filesystem 
+content directly. It means than any directory not known in rpm database 
+will still be present on the disk after uninstallation.

+Installing from scratch will trigger the failure, I forgot to make the 
+script specific to upgrade scenario only. However, it's unclear why it 
+fails when upgrading from a previous installation (for you), where 
+/etc/httpd/conf directory exist, but not /etc/httpd/conf/sites.d:
+
+# prevent symlink creation failure on update
+if [ ! -d /etc/httpd/conf/sites.d ]; then
+     mkdir /etc/httpd/conf/sites.d
+     mv -f /etc/httpd/conf/webapps.d/* /etc/httpd/conf/sites.d 2>/dev/null
+     mv -f /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts.d/* /etc/httpd/conf/sites.d 2>/dev/null
+     rmdir /etc/httpd/conf/webapps.d
+     rmdir /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts.d
+fi
+
+I guess it has something to do with exact package ordering during 
+uninstallation transaction. In the past we had %pretrans trigger, I'm 
+not sure it is still available.
