A new question has been posted to the Knowledgebase:

MariaDB 5.2.x server RPM fails on upgrades - error: scriptlet failed,
exit status 1

http://kb.askmonty.org/en/mariadb-52x-server-rpm-fails-on-upgrades-error-scriptlet-failed-exit-status

---------------------------------------------------------------------

This problem occurs on CentOS 5.5/5.6/6.0 32bit and 64bit from first
time I used MariaDB 5.2.3 all the way to 5.2.9 upgrade. It happens

1) via manual RPM upgrade from RPM downloaded at
http://downloads.askmonty.org/mariadb/5.2/#file_type=rpm

or

2) via ourdelta YUM REPO update http://ourdelta.org/centos (yum update
MariaDB*).

Problem, MariaDB-server-5.2.x RPM updates fails and needs manually
removing previous version MariaDB-server-5.2.x RPM before the new
update installs.

error

error: %pre(MariaDB-server-5.2.9-102.el5.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit
status 1
error:   install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping
MariaDB-server-5.2.9-102.el5

full details below ... (continued in the KB)

Thanks.
