I have a system (Centos 4.4 all packages uptodate) where almost every

some times the error is on %post()

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?
Check the permissions on /tmp and /var/tmp
Check to make sure you have disk space available, at least on /tmp
or /var
If it were just one package, you could look at the package scripts
with rpm -q --scripts to see what exactly it's doing. Since you have
more than one package doing it, I suspect permissions errors on /tmp
or /var/tmp
/tmp and /var/tmp are both drwxrwxrwt
Neither one is more than 30% full, and plenty of inodes left too.
But since you mention /tmp
The rpm -Va command for me prints messages like
prelink: /tmp/#prelink#.iF7B1w: Recorded 6 dependencies, now seeing -1
on several different packages. I don't know if this is related or
even if normal.
