rpm problem after recent yum update

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Thanks for the kind help.  It appears that if I add the following
option, --noscripts , when running rpm, then the problem went away. 
However, I don't know how to work this option into yum.  Specifically,
I am having problem updating/installing firefox.  The error message I
received is:

error: %post(firefox-1.0.4-1.4.1.centos4.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 255

I am dumping the entire output as follows:

[pwzhangz@localhost dl]$ sudo yum install firefox
