[Apt-Rpm] Issue with apt-rpm 0.5.15lorg3.2 on Solaris 9 with RPM 4.4.2.3

[Brian Schubert]

I managed to get rid of the lua error by building apt-rpm from the git 
sources and using external lua (I also had to build rpm without lua).

I am still having the problem with the scriptlets failing with a signal 
11 (again, this does not occur when using rpm by itself).

Does anyone have any ideas?
