okay - so normally when something works when you run it with rpm and 
doesn't with yum it is environment variables or improper assumptions in 
the scriptlets about paths, etc.

So maybe a good place to start is to dump the env you're running in when 
you run rpm and then dump the environment inside python in yum .

anything odd going on with login shells vs /bin/sh for example?
