I am not exactly sure what is causing the rpm scriplets to fail in your

case, but I recommend first completely uninstalling (using rpm -e) all
the old seamonkey packages before installing the new ones.
I don't particularly like unsolved mysteries, but this is certainly
worth a try.
Later, when I'm not using it to read my email.
There are some important differences between the way seamonkey is
packaged in RHEL4 and in the rpms available from releases.mozilla.org.
For instance, in RHEL4 seamonkey is split into 10 packages:
seamonkey
seamonkey-chat
seamonkey-devel
seamonkey-dom-inspector
seamonkey-js-debugger
seamonkey-mail
seamonkey-nspr
seamonkey-nspr-devel
seamonkey-nss
seamonkey-nss-devel
The src rpm from releases.mozilla.org builds into only 5 binary packages:
seamonkey
seamonkey-chat
seamonkey-dom-inspector
seamonkey-js-debugger
seamonkey-mail
Thus if you use "rpm -U" or "rpm -F" to upgrade, you will not get rid of
all the old RHEL4 packages if you do not uninstall them first.
