I have a system (Centos 4.4 all packages uptodate) where almost every
rpm or yum operation fails with a message like e.g.:
error: %preun(a2ps-4.13b-41.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 255
some times the error is on %post()
the last few lines of output from
rpm -e -vv a2ps
are
D: ========== --- a2ps-4.13b-41 i386-linux 0x1
D: erase: a2ps-4.13b-41 has 316 files, test = 0

I can do the install /remove/update with --noscripts, but that
doesn't seem like a good idea.
rpm --rebuilddb has not helped
selinux is enabled but permissive.
I've seen a few mentions of this on google, but found no solution.
Anybody experienced this?
