I wouldn't worry too much if it works. It's really the job of the
developer/package maintainer to fix these types of things but it is
good to know. They of course almost always welcome patches but not
everyone can fix things.

You can try reporting it as a bug against F14 and they may do
something about it or they could just say it's not expected to build
on F14 and close it as WONTFIX since it's scheduled for F15 but it
doesn't hurt.

Something I've had to learn the hard way is try not to take it
personally if they're a little curt with you.They're pretty busy and
sometimes forget that not everyone is an expert at this.

The actual errors "E:" should probably be fixed. Either a script
should be executable or not and should have the correct permissions.
