RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
Getting the following error attempting to update from imsettings-0.107.4-4.el6 -> imsettings-0.108.0-3.1.el6:

Error in PREIN scriptlet in rpm package imsettings-0.108.0-3.1.el6.x86_64
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.qeGhXD: line 1: fg: no job control
error: %pre(imsettings-0.108.0-3.1.el6.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 1
error:   install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping imsettings-0.108.0-3.1.el6
imsettings-0.107.4-4.el6.x86_64 was supposed to be removed but is not!

Failed:
  imsettings.x86_64 0:0.108.0-3.1.el6                                                  

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

Expected results:


Additional info:
This is happening because imsettings scripts have been updated to use the new GConf2 rpm macros, but those are not available in RHEL6 and does not appear there are plans to port them.  The %pre, %post and %preun scripts need to be returned to their original states.
