When *everything* fails like this it's quite possibly a SELinux problem, 
similar things happen if you try to use mach with selinux enabled.
Try this:
# touch /.autorelabel
# reboot

..and see if things start working again. However the fact that all those 
scriptlets have failed the system might be in somewhat messed up state...
