Should we modify rpm so scriptlet failures aren't fatal?  This is the
second time in the last six months or so that I've seen scriptlet
failures cause major update problems in Fedora, solely because they are
fatal (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=989145).

If scriptlet failures weren't fatal, we wouldn't have the problem we
have now with duplicate packages.  We could have just pushed the selinux
update, then bumped the release for all updates in the last few pushes,
and then rebuilt them.  If some of the scriptlets were vitally
important, they would get run with the new updates.

Am I missing something?  Is there any reason why scriptlet failures
should be fatal?
