we can just be notified by rpm there was an error in a callback.
We don't have details at that stage.
Those were spit by rpm itself in the log file.
There's nothing we can do

This is due to moving 'filesystem' %post script in basesystem-minimal I think.
Could be fixed by making mailman doing this:
   Requires(post): basesystem-minimal

Colin, could you grep for packages invoking su in their post script so that
we can fix them all?
