[Yum] YUM install [package.rpm] fails on Solaris, reports success

[Joshua Burns]

Hi, 

Thanks for the suggestions. We have placed all environment variables that exist when rpm runs into both %post, and have exported them before running yum. We are still getting the same error. 

Also, %post has been stripped down to just /usr/bin/echo blah > /tmp/file - it doesn't look like it even gets executed - the truss(1) output seems to show that the file is unlink() 'ed by a PPID before it is executed.

okay - so normally when something works when you run it with rpm and doesn't with yum it is environment variables or improper assumptions in the scriptlets about paths, etc.

So maybe a good place to start is to dump the env you're running in when you run rpm and then dump the environment inside python in yum .

anything odd going on with login shells vs /bin/sh for example?
