Figure out why these packages' scripts are failing.  I don't see a common 
denominator in the install scripts for these packages.

There must be multiple reasons.

Taking coreutils as an example, coreutils' %pre script runs find, and 
/sbin/install-info.

Run 'rpm -V info findutils' to see if the info and findutils packages are 
corrupted.
