[Yum-devel] Exit non-0 when scriptlets fail?

[Jesse Keating]

I don't know if this is a recent change, but I'm seeing yum exit non-0
when installation of packages went fine, but some scriptlets failed.
This is most notable when doing an anaconda compose and anaconda
installs 400+ packages in a chroot and uses the nodocs flag.  Tons of
things fail their install-info %post commands.  Unfortunately the
anaconda script sees that yum exited non-0 and assumes that nothing got
installed, and bails on the rest of the compose.  Anybody know what's
going on here?  Did yum change recently?  It doesn't look like it by
running the most recent previous f11 build of yum, so maybe it's done
this for a while, and some new breakage in our packages is leading to
this.

In what scenarios will yum "successfully" install packages, but exit
with non-0?
