YUM Update Failed - Error in POSTIN scriptlet in rpm package

linux redhat python yum

Can you check to make sure you have free space? Run a df -h to see.

Also check the permissions on the required temporary directories. Run ls -ld /var/tmp/.

Update:

I would just download the offending package directly, OR see if you can install yum-utils (either via yum OR direct download and rpm -ivh yum-utils*).

From there, try:

package-cleanup --dupes
package-cleanup --cleandupes

Then run your yum update again.

Running "yum update" and it gets to installing and then breaks. Not sure what the problem is. Google shows nothing.

@TiffanyWalker See my edit above.

I ran --cleandupes and it wants to remove 166 packages/395MB worth. sound about right?
ewwhite over 11 years

@TiffanyWalker Maybe? What happened leading up to this? Were there any repository changes? Did yum work properly before? Can you run yum repolist?
Tiffany Walker over 11 years

not ran an update in 3-4 months. posted contents up in post.
Tiffany Walker over 11 years

Cleaned out the dupes, worked, then crashed on me again. same way and does not look like a lack of disk space :(
ewwhite over 11 years

@TiffanyWalker The same error? Try repeating, but also running an rpm --rebuilddb somewhere in there.
Tiffany Walker over 11 years

Yea, same error. Posted above. Should I do a rebuild after I remove dupes?
ewwhite over 11 years

Yeah you have another issue. It could be permissions, filesystem, immutable files... But this is beyond the scope of where I can help you. One last thing. Try running lsattr /var/tmp/ and post the output.
Tiffany Walker over 11 years

Updated. Maybe it's how /tmp is mounted?
ewwhite over 11 years

@TiffanyWalker Yes, it's the fact that your /tmp is mounted noexec. Try this: mount -o remount,rw /tmp and re-run your yum updates.
