Re: yum -y update at %postinstall

Perhaps there's a connection issue going on while downloading? We do something similar, except we copy over a yum.conf pointing to our local mirrors first, and it usually works fine.

--- snip ---
wget http://mirrors.redwire.net/pub/yum-redwire.conf
cp -f yum-redwire.conf /etc/yum.conf

echo "* Updating our system..."
/usr/bin/yum -y update
--- snip ---

Perhaps try downloading and running a script as part of the %post process, copying over a yum.conf with a high debug value, and piping it to a log file and see what results you get...

In preparation for trying to do this as part of a postinstall, I manually
ran this command:

        yum -y install `cat file_full_of_package_names`

After installing a number of packages, it aborted with

rpmdb: PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery
error: db4 error(-30978) from dbenv->close: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal
error, run database recovery

and it refused to install any more packages.  I had to run "rpm --rebuilddb"
to recover.  Perhaps something similar is happening in your case.
