As said, I do not have any FC2Test available, but I'd like to show you
an example:

| [angenenr at localhorst angenenr]$rpm -q --scripts bitstream-vera-fonts
| postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
| if [ -x /usr/bin/fc-cache ] ; then
|   /usr/bin/fc-cache /usr/share/fonts ;
| fi
| postuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
| if [ "$1" = "0" ]; then
|    if [ -x /usr/bin/fc-cache ] ; then
|      /usr/bin/fc-cache /usr/share/fonts ;
|    fi
| fi
| [angenenr at localhorst angenenr]$

So there are two scriptlets in the bitstream-vera-fonts package, one
postinstall scriptlet and one postuninstall scriptlet. The postinstall
scriptlet is run after installation of a package - and this is the
scriptlet which fails on policy-sources.

Same goes for the package policy-sources. So you can just cut & paste
everything which follows the line "postinstall scriptlet (using
/bin/sh):" into your shell. 

Obviously you have to omit the error, which can be found on line 4 of
the postinstall scriptlet of policy-sources, you have to drop one of the
two adjacent "&&"s. 

This worked very well for my installation of FC2T2.
