yum/rpm failing with pre or post script errors

I'm having trouble on only one of two test machines.

when I yum update, I see a lot of:
   Updating : at-spi
error: %post(at-spi...) scriptlet failed, exit status 255.

for most {all ?} packages.
package-cleanup --dupes lists the problems, but --cleandupes fails in 
the same way.

I guess something is going/gone astray on that machine. Any ideas ?

In any case it leads to the package having two copies installed.

A workaround is to rpm blah --noscripts
