Comment 1 Carlos O'Donell 2014-01-16 17:08:12 UTC

The %pre script for headers is this:

%pre headers
# this used to be a link and it is causing nightmares now
if [ -L %{_prefix}/include/scsi ] ; then
  rm -f %{_prefix}/include/scsi
fi

A status of 127 indicates that the command to be executed could not be found.

That looks like your system is broken, either your shell or test (executed to handle [] in shell) is broken.

Neither of these things look like glibc problems, but rather stability issues on the system you are using.

Can you try run this shell script?
~~~
#!/bin/sh
# this used to be a link and it is causing nightmares now
if [ -L /usr/include/scsi ] ; then
  rm -f /usr/include/scsi
fi
~~~
Then `echo $?' to see the exit status.

[chris@tg-d09 ~]$ #!/bin/sh
[chris@tg-d09 ~]$ # this used to be a link and it is causing nightmares now
[chris@tg-d09 ~]$ if [ -L /usr/include/scsi ] ; then
>   rm -f /usr/include/scsi
> fi
[chris@tg-d09 ~]$ echo $?
0

This is a fresh install off the DVD today. I installed the Cinnamon desktop and have only applied updates + R, R-devel, and some other development packages.

This should be closed. Because it's related to bug 1054350. Updating selinux-policy from updates-testing worked.
