Description styxd6 2014-01-17 10:06:45 UTC 
Description of problem:
Firefox versions 26.0-5 and 26.0-3 can't be uninstalled because of errors in
 %preun script. Yum fails with message:
"Error in PREUN scriptlet in rpm package firefox-26.0-5.fc20.x86_64"

Additionally, there are errors when installing firefox-26.0-5, though they do not prevent installation:
"Non-fatal POSTIN scriptlet failure in rpm package firefox-26.0-5.fc20.x86_64"
"Non-fatal POSTTRANS scriptlet failure in rpm package firefox-26.0-5.fc20.x86_64"

I was installing firefox-26.0-3 a month ago and unfortunately I don't remember if there were errors during installation.

How reproducible:
Just try to install or uninstall the firefox package.

Additional info:
It was also impossible to remove flash-plugin (the version from the official Adobe repo), also because of an an error in %preun script. I know that package is not supported, but I'm putting the info here just in case.

After removing both firefox(es) and flash with "rpm -e --noscripts" and reinstalling just firefox the same problems persist.

I'm seeing this, too, although I don't think the issue is particular to firefox.  Of all the updates I got this morning:

Do you have /var as a separate filesystem?  This is only occurring for me on systems where /var is separate.  I've narrowed it down to selinux.  setenforce permissive makes the problem go away.  

It looks like there was a recent selinux update.

No, I don't have /var on separate filesystem.
And selinux policy (targeted at least) was indeed updated yesterday.
Comment 4 bericson 2014-01-17 16:04:59 UTC 
I don't have /var on a separate filesystem, either.  Looks like similar issues are being discussed in bug 1054350 and this issue is probably a duplicate of that one.
Comment 5 Andy Wang 2014-01-17 20:04:59 UTC 
I'm an idiot.  the one system i have that doesn't have /var split out also happens to have selinux disabled.
