yes, same problem here !!!
... Cleanup : kdebase ####################### [35/36] sed: -e expression #1, char 33: unknown option to `s' ... # rpm -V kdebase S.5....T /usr/bin/startkde S.5....T /usr/share/config/kickerrc # ll /usr/bin/startkde -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Jun 14 22:32 /usr/bin/startkde I don't see why this happens ... Who edits /usr/bin/startkde with sed? Quick fix: # wget ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/50/i386/updates/security/kdebase-3.5.4-13.6.el5.i386.rpm # rpm -ihv --replacepkgs kdebase-3.5.4-13.6.el5.i386.rpm # ll /usr/bin/startkde -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 13277 Jun 14 22:41 /usr/bin/startkde # rpm -V kdebase ..5....T /usr/bin/startkde S.5....T /usr/share/config/kickerrc But this should be fixed!
