You completely removed your old fedora-ds installation?  If so, do an rm 
-rf /opt/fedora-ds, then try to reinstall (using rpm -ivh).  Or, if 
there is some rpm flag you can use to turn on verbose output of pre and 
post sections, try that too.  All the %pre section does is shutdown any 
existing servers.  If you have removed everything, then I'm not sure 
what the problem is.  Is there some way to do rpm -i --nopre or 
something like that?  Unfortunately, the %post scripts are required.  
You can install the server with no scripts at all, but you will have to 
manually apply the patch setup/console-ld-libpath.patch.
