The %postun scriptlet contained in
xorg-x11-Mesa-libGLU-6.8.2-37.FC4.48.1.i386 definitely is broken:

# rpm -q xorg-x11-Mesa-libGLU
xorg-x11-Mesa-libGLU-6.8.2-37.FC4.48.1


# rpm -q --scripts xorg-x11-Mesa-libGLU
postinstall program: /sbin/ldconfig
postuninstall scriptlet (using /sbin/ldconfig):

##### xfs scripts ####################################################
# Work around a bug in the XFree86-xfs postun script, which results in the
# special xfs user account being inadvertently removed, causing xfs to run as
# the root user, and also resulting in xfs not being activated by chkconfig,
# This trigger executes right after the XFree86-xfs postun script, and ensures
# that the xfs user exists, and that the xfs initscript is properly chkconfig
# activated (#118145,118818)

=> ldconfig tries to execute a shell script fragment.
