So the real question is "what's the %post scriptlet supposed to do?"

$ rpm -q --scripts red-carpet
postinstall scriptlet (through /bin/sh):
ldconfig
env PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib scrollkeeper-update >/dev/null 2>&1
(snip)

Two possibilities:
- ldconfig failed
- scrollkeeper-update failed

The latter seems much more likely.  I'm not sure the red-carpet package
depends on scrollkeeper, though it should probably pre-depend on it. 
Try installing scrollkeeper.  I expect it will work after that.  If you
already have scrollkeeper installed... maybe it needs a newer
scrollkeeper?

FYI, all scrollkeeper is doing is updating the GNOME documentation
system.  In a pinch, you could install with --noscripts and run ldconfig
manually, and it would still work.
