[rhn-users] rpm --root is not running pre-instalation and post-instalation scripts in chrooted environment

[Schirmer Joe]

When I try to install an rpm using the latest version (RPM version
4.3.3) that requires a pre-instalation or post-instalation script I get
the following error:

	[root at aisd-linux01 rjschirmer]# rpm --root
/home/rjschirmer/testenv/ -i
/home/rjschirmer/newRPMs/glibc-common-2.3.4-2.13.i386.rpm 
	error: %post(glibc-common-2.3.4-2.13.i386) scriptlet failed,
exit status 255
	[root at aisd-linux01 rjschirmer]# 

When I run with the verify on (-ivv) I see that the post-instalation
script fails:

	D:   install: %post(glibc-common-2.3.4-2.13.i386) asynchronous
scriptlet start
	D:   install: %post(glibc-common-2.3.4-2.13.i386)
execv(/usr/sbin/build-locale-archive) pid 8911
	D:   install: waitpid(8911) rc 8911 status ff00 secs 0.000
	error: %post(glibc-common-2.3.4-2.13.i386) scriptlet failed,
exit status 255

But I have no problem running the post-install script manually

	[root at aisd-linux01 rjschirmer]# rpm -qp --scripts
/home/rjschirmer/newRPMs/glibc-common-2.3.4-2.13.i386.rpm 
	postinstall program: /usr/sbin/build-locale-archive
	[root at aisd-linux01 rjschirmer]# chroot /home/rjschirmer/testenv
/usr/sbin/build-locale-archive
	[root at aisd-linux01 rjschirmer]# echo $?
	0
	[root at aisd-linux01 rjschirmer]# 

 
How do I report this bug?  When I go to the Red Hat support page I see
no place to report bugs for Red Hat Enterprise customers.
