Error in <unknown> scriptlet in rpm package glibc

Expected results:
No scripts trying to 'cd /; for i in *; do cat "$i"; done' or similar on the system...

Additional info:
I am not sure which script did this, I could not find it with rpm -q x --scripts...

Saw the same problem last update, but I still can not identify the offending package... sorry.
