Major 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[@]}"

|
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)'" )

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.
