yes, same problem here !!!


...
  Cleanup   : kdebase                      ####################### [35/36]
sed: -e expression #1, char 33: unknown option to `s'
...

# rpm -V kdebase
S.5....T   /usr/bin/startkde
S.5....T   /usr/share/config/kickerrc

# ll /usr/bin/startkde
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Jun 14 22:32 /usr/bin/startkde


I don't see why this happens ... Who edits /usr/bin/startkde with sed?


Quick fix:

# wget
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/50/i386/updates/security/kdebase-3.5.4-13.6.el5.i386.rpm
# rpm -ihv --replacepkgs kdebase-3.5.4-13.6.el5.i386.rpm

# ll /usr/bin/startkde
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 13277 Jun 14 22:41 /usr/bin/startkde
# rpm -V kdebase
..5....T   /usr/bin/startkde
S.5....T   /usr/share/config/kickerrc



But this should be fixed!
