Description Matt Hirsch 2016-12-12 21:36:03 UTC 
Description of problem:

I can't install firefox in a fedora atomic image. I get 

error: Package 'firefox' has (currently) unsupported script of type '%pretrans'

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

I'm working with the Fedora 25 Atomic images available here: https://getfedora.org/atomic/download/

I would like to install the latest available version of firefox.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. # rpm-ostree install firefox

Actual results:
error: Package 'firefox' has (currently) unsupported script of type '%pretrans'

Expected results:
Firefox installed

Additional info:
Is there any workaround? I assume this has something to do with the Lua discussion I see on rpm-ecosystem?
