Out of completeness, why does this cause problems? Also I see no %post script in basesystem-minimal anyway so not sure how it could cause problems :D Do you maybe mean the pretrans stuff in filesystem package itself (written in lua)? Even still I'm not sure how this would affect paths as the symlinks should mean all binaries are available under the same paths as they were before. I can't rule it out of course, but I (so far) don't see how this could affect things. > Could be fixed by making mailman doing this: >Requires(post): basesystem-minimal That should solve the crontab issue (so a grep for that should also be done I guess - although having now done that, it seems only mailman uses it :D). > Colin, could you grep for packages invoking su in their post script so that > we can fix them all?

We don't have details at that stage. Those were spit by rpm itself in the log file.

Could be fixed by making mailman doing this: Requires(post): basesystem-minimal Colin, could you grep for packages invoking su in their post script so that we can fix them all?
