Description Jerry James 2011-06-07 16:05:58 UTC 
Description of problem:
I am unable to yum remove a broken kernel on my rawhide machine, because the %preun scriptlet fails due to multiple syntax errors in /sbin/new-kernel-pkg.

First, the shebang at the top is broken.  The first character in the file is 'u', instead of '#'.  Second, on line 111, there is a missing "then" token after the semicolon.  Third, there should be no parentheses after "run_grub2" on lines 149, 220, and 272.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
grubby-7.0.17-1.fc16.x86_64
grubby-7.0.17-1.fc16.i686

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum remove kernel-3.0-0.rc1.git0.1.fc16.x86_64
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
The package is not removed due to errors in the PREUN scriptlet.  Running the script by hand reveals the problem to be the syntax errors noted above.

Expected results:
Package removal.
