During initial install, the plugin tries to set the default via /usr/sbin/plymouth-set-default-plugin, which apparently doesn't exist at this time. This causes a scriptlet error.
odd, %package plugin-spinfinity Summary: Plymouth "Spinfinity" plugin Group: System Environment/Base Requires: %name = %{version}-%{release} and %{_sbindir}/plymouth-set-default-plugin is in the plymouth package. This bug sort of smells like bug 214737, but I can't imagine plymouth being pulled in multilib and that bug is closed fixed now anyway.
perhaps you missed the difference between Requires: and Requires(post): ? Requires just means "this must pre-exist or be in the same transaction set" whereas Requires(post) means "This must pre-exist or be installed prior to the %post script is ran"
oh, right. I knew that, fix coming shortly.
%post can still fail, though perhaps for a different reason: Installing plymouth-scripts-0.6.0-0.2008.10.24.2.fc10.x86_64 Installing plymouth-plugin-spinfinity-0.6.0-0.2008.10.24.2.fc10.x86_64 warning: %post(plymouth-plugin-spinfinity-0.6.0-0.2008.10.24.2.fc10.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 Installing plymouth-0.6.0-0.2008.10.24.2.fc10.x86_64 Something /usr/sbin/plymouth-set-default-plugin runs or a directory it needs?
if you run it manually does it fail?
It runs fine on the installed system.
Getting this with todays rawhide. /usr/lib/plymouth/spinfinity.so does not exist error: %post(plymouth-plugin-spinfinity-0.6.0-0.2008.10.24.2.fc10.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 1
so i guess this is because plymouth isn't installed yet causing /usr/lib/plymouth not to exist.
I've moved /usr/lib/plymouth to plymouth-libs
