| The %postun scriptlet contained in
| xorg-x11-Mesa-libGLU-6.8.2-37.FC4.48.1.i386 definitely is broken:
|
| # rpm -q xorg-x11-Mesa-libGLU
| xorg-x11-Mesa-libGLU-6.8.2-37.FC4.48.1
|
|
| # rpm -q --scripts xorg-x11-Mesa-libGLU
| postinstall program: /sbin/ldconfig
| postuninstall scriptlet (using /sbin/ldconfig):
|
| ##### xfs scripts ####################################################
| # Work around a bug in the XFree86-xfs postun script, which results in the
| # special xfs user account being inadvertently removed, causing xfs to run as
| # the root user, and also resulting in xfs not being activated by chkconfig,
| # This trigger executes right after the XFree86-xfs postun script, and ensures

Yes.
More evidence:
# rpm -q --scripts xorg-x11-Mesa-libGLU-6.8.2-37.FC4.45
postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
/sbin/ldconfig
postuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
/sbin/ldconfig

In this (older) RPM, the scriptlet is run using /bin/sh, not /sbin/ldconfig.
Doing an strace on the attempted removal
# strace -o 0 -f rpm -e --verbose xorg-x11-Mesa-libGLU-6.8.2-37.FC4.48.1
You can see the exec of /sbin/ldconfig:
execve("/sbin/ldconfig", ["/sbin/ldconfig", "/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.60280", "1"], [/* 27 vars */]) = 0
The first and second arguments to /sbin/ldconfig make no sense
according the the ldconfig(8) manpage.
BTW, apparently both versions of the RPM can coexist. The files are
identical, except for one timestamp:
# rpm --verify xorg-x11-Mesa-libGLU-6.8.2-37.FC4.48.1
.......T. /usr/X11R6/lib/libGLU.so.1.3
# rpm --verify xorg-x11-Mesa-libGLU-6.8.2-37.FC4.45
