was already mentioned today. See discussion there.
[root@cobra packages]# rpm -q tar --scripts
postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
/sbin/install-info /usr/share/info/tar.info.gz /usr/share/info/dir
preuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):

Did you try saving such failig scripts to a file, editing results
