Yah what a fun time. So, unless I'm mistaken, rpm is failing to handle
something in the installation of that package and it is not reporting it
as fatal to the transaction. We have this problem, often, with
scriptlets aborting in %post.


You might want to check to see if something is wrong on the computer,
too b/c package errors shouldn't actually be possible.
