That is the trouble with %post scriptlet failures. %post leaves
trails and %pre only goes up to where it fails and does not
install the rpm.
I avoided indent, m4, kdebase, gnome-vfs2 and a few other
packages where there are dependency errors. It's good that you
noticed the failure with indent and the scriptlet. Is there a bug
report filed against this package?

No.
While I've used Linux for over a decade, test distros for much
of that (an BZ's), I'm fairly new to FC-test. I'm not about to file
a bug, either very quickly, or on every packaging error. Better to
see if the next indent update fixes it. I did post the same indent
message to the -devel list tho in a thread discussing causes of
dups.
I haven't had dep errs on the rpms you list, an particularly not
for indent. Mine are currently elf\*, ltrace, an sysfsutils. An
they've lasted a few days more than normal, even for rawhide.
I should say tho that FC devel is way ahead of, better organized
an run, an with fewer 'niggles' than I'm used to with other
distros. Should'a come here sooner ;)
