yum scriptlet exit status 255 when su-ed to root (with selinux)

[Hans de Goede]

Hi All,

With the latest rawhide I get a lot of:
error: %preun(kernel-2.6.13-1.1594_FC5.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit 
status 255
error: %pre(kernel-2.6.14-1.1771_FC5.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit 
status 255
error:   install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping 
kernel-2.6.14-1.1771_FC5
error: %preun(kernel-2.6.14-1.1770_FC5.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit 
status 255
error: %preun(kernel-2.6.14-1.1743_FC5.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit 
status 255
error: %preun(kernel-2.6.14-1.1644_FC5.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit 
status 255

This is when running yum -y update kernel as root. I became root by 
doing su - in an xterm started as a normal user.

Running yum when directly logged in as root from the console works fine.

Bugzilla?

Regards,

Hans
