The entry ends with this note:

  ... and use yum history redo <transaction number> to reinstall the
    packages.

This is inaccurate.  The above prescription works only for packages
where the scriptlet errors led to an installation failure.  If however
the package was installed, but scriptlets failed, then those packages
are skipped.  For such a case the specific package has to be reinstalled
by hand.

I believe it is this way since the original command was install, so
install is repeated[1], not reinstall.

Hope this helps,


Footnotes:

[1] Which is a noop as the package is already installed.
