I should be careful when throwing acid around ...

Like many rpm flaws, the fix is usually in a very different
place then where the symptom is seen.

In this case, the underlying flaw is an unpopulated RPMTAG_POSTTRANSPROG.
That needs to be prevented in rpmbuild, not "best effort" skipped in
rpmtsRun().

That is my definition for "right" because there are most certainly other
missing data failure symptoms if RPMTAG_POSTTRANSPROG has gone AWOL,
not only in rpmtsRun().
