The solution is to get them to fix their braindead scripts (some of
them are even c shell scripts!). Their Word Perfect script (or one of them) is also
broken (even though Posix explicitly states that one may not assume
that uname returns any particular format, they rely on the kernel
version being a number (of course Mandrake appens mdk, so that breaks
that)). Anyway rpm -qp --scripts nameof.rpm will show you clearly that
their script is broken. Just install rpm -i --force --noscripts, and
then from /etc/rc.d/init.d copy into the runlevels
(e.g., /etc/rc.d/rc5.d) if you want to run on startup [remember you'll
have to rename the copied file in each runlevel to something like
S50fontastic].
