Hi all,

This is happening with other RPM packages. Any idea why this happens ?

Hello Junaid,

Could you please refer following link for same, hope it may help you.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common\_F20\_bugs\#RPM\_scriptlets\_fail\_during_updates

RPM scriptlets fail during updates
link to this item - Bugzilla: #1054350
Fix released
This issue was resolved by selinux-policy-3.12.1-117.fc20 an update to SELinux policy. It however requires the following workaround if you updated to selinux-policy-3.12.1-116.fc20 which contained the bug. If you have a previous version installed, you are not affected and can simply update to the new version without issue.A bug in SELinux policy introduced via an update causes RPM scriptlets to fail to execute in Fedora 20 if SELinux is enabled and is in enforcing mode which is the default in Fedora 20.

Sample output:
warning: %post(libkcompactdisc-4.12.1-1.fc20.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 127
Non-fatal POSTIN scriptlet failure in rpm package libkcompactdisc-4.12.1-1.fc20.x86_64
To resolve such problems, run the following commands as root user or using sudo. The first command disables SELinux enforcement for the current session and the subsequent commands expire the yum caching and gets the SELinux policy update which fixes this issue and the last command enables SELinux enforcement back.
# setenforce 0
# yum clean expire-cache
# yum update selinux-policy\*
# setenforce 1
If you install any packages which failed with scriptlet errors before doing the above procedure, reinstall them using yum reinstall
<package name>. If you are unsure of the package names, you can use yum history list to find out the number of the transaction and use yum history undo <transaction number> and then use yum history redo <transaction number> to reinstall the packages.
Fedora SELinux maintainers have a policy of only loosening the policy and typically never tightening it on updates precisely to avoid such kind of problems, however a policy inclusion meant for Rawhide, the development version of Fedora was accidentally included in this release. Fedora SELinux maintainers will be setting up a much higher karma requirement for new updates to avoid similar problems in the future.

NOTE: Please go through the link completly, before doing in LIVE environment make sure you had read them carefully.

Thanks,
R. Singh
