RPM packages fail to install because they require /bin/sh for %pretrans

Details

    Description

      The RPM packages for 10.4.29 and 10.4.30 under:

      https://mirror.mariadb.org/yum/10.4/centos8-amd64/rpms/

      have added a %pretrans scriptlet interpreter requirement of /bin/sh. This makes it impossible to add them to a clean initial installation transaction (e.g., including them on a custom ISO for kickstarted install, or adding them to a fully clean bootstrap with an uninitialized rpmdb for OCI/similar builds).

      Given that none of the packages appear to have a non-empty %pretrans scriptlet, and given that no RPM should ever use an interpreter other than the embedded Lua engine during %pretrans, whichever tool is being used to create these RPMs should be configured to omit any requirement for %pretrans time.

      Quick script showing the problem:

      $ cat show-mariadb-pretrans 
      #!/bin/sh
      		 
      ls MariaDB*.rpm
      		 
      echo
      		 
      tblfmt='%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\n'
      		 
      {
      		 
          versions=( 10.4.28 10.4.29 10.4.30 )
      		 
          printf "${tblfmt}" subpackage "${versions[@]}"
      		 
          for n in backup client common compat server shared; do
      		 
              z=( )
      		 
              for v in "${versions[@]}"; do
      		 
                  f=MariaDB-$n-$v-1.el8.x86_64.rpm
      		 
                  z+=( "'$(rpm -q --scripts -p $f 2> /dev/null | grep pretrans)'" )
      		 
              done
      		 
              printf "${tblfmt}" ${n} "${z[@]}"
      		 
          done
      		 
      } | column -o'    ' -s'	' -t
      		 
      echo
      		 
      $ ./show-mariadb-pretrans

      $

      I wasn't sure if the MDEV project was the right place for this, being a packaging concern rather than a "real" bug, but I didn't see a more appropriate-looking spot for it, sorry if I missed something.
