Description peter lawford 2019-07-20 15:55:10 CEST 
Description of problem:
a long time ago, I have installed and after uninstalled, but surely improperly the package crossover-12.0.0-1
now it's impossible to erase it:
[root@magaux alain4]# LC_ALL=C rpm -e crossover-12.0.0-1
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.qoa9PS: line 55: /opt/cxoffice/bin/cxtie: No such file or directory
error: %preun(crossover-12.0.0-1.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 1
error: crossover-12.0.0-1.i386: erase failed

furthermore we have:
[root@magaux alain4]# ls /opt
Adobe/  google/  lib/  share/  viber/  vivaldi/

as we can see therei no directory cxoffice in /opt

this detail makes the upgrade from mageia6 to 7 impossible, when typing
urpmi --replacefiles --auto-update --auto --download-all
the process stops at "crossover"

Remove crossover with rpm before upgrading:
rpm -e --nodeps --noscripts crossover

After removing crossover, use urpmi to upgrade, but don't use --replacefiles option or replace it with --force if you don't want to be asked for conflicting pkg removals etc.

OK thank you very much, it was a concern for me
your command seems to work:

[root@magaux alain4]# rpm -qa |grep crossover
[root@magaux alain4]#
