The athena-krb5 RPM has a %post script which adds
"LOGIN=/usr/athena/etc/login.krb5" and a %preun script which removes
the line (actually, just blanks it out, which is a small bug). When
upgrading the athena-krb5 RPM, the order of scripts seems to be:
1. preinstall script for new RPM
2. postinstall script for new RPM
3. preuninstall script for old RPM
4. preuninstall script for old RPM
So the net effect is to add a blank line to /etc/conf.getty, or to
blank out an existing "LOGIN=/usr/athena/etc/login.krb5" if there is
one.
This is a pretty critical problem; worse, it could be affecting other
RPMs which do similar things.
