Since you don't provide any code all we can do is guess, but one thing that does cause scriptlets failing with rpm >= 4.1 is not initializing transaction root (even if it's / ) Try adding rpmtsSetRootDir(TS, NULL) right after creating the transaction set (TS) if you're not already doing that. - Panu - _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
