Re: %prescriptlet and %postscriptlet errors

["Chris" <rpmlist games-world net>]

Hi Jeff,

I have plenty of space left on all partitions atm and I have had this on
various packages and now i have tried this the system comes up with seg
faults when trying to run programs like /sbin/shutdown and the like. Not a
happy bunny now. :O(

Any idea why this happens? It has happened on most packages like all the
kernel rpms for 2.4.9-12, most openssh and xinetd rpms and more. I tried
this before on a different system and it tries to reboot but when starting
up again it comes up saying no more processes left in runtime. More than
likely because the rpm's failed right? Thanks for the 'vv' BTW
