Description PC LX 2016-05-20 15:38:48 CEST 
Description of problem:

During the installation from boot-nonfree.iso the following message is shown (screen shot attached):
"ERROR: 'script' failed for memtest86+-5.01-10.mag6.x86_64"

The memtest86+ package seems to be installed correctly. At least memtest86+ can be run from grub2 boot menu and "rpm -V" does not complain. The consequences seem to be benign but the error message may confuse some users. 

The installation was done in a VirtualBox VM.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

$ rpm -q memtest86+
memtest86+-5.01-10.mga6



How reproducible:

Only installed once, for now.



Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Mageia 6 dev1 from boot-nonfree.iso on a VirtualBox VM.

I'm not certain how dependent this bug is on the installation parameters.

Here is the %post for memtest86+

%post
if [ -x /usr/sbin/bootloader-config ]; then
    /usr/sbin/bootloader-config --action add-entry --label memtest --image /boot/memtest.bin
fi

It is used to add an EFI grub2 boot menu entry for memtest86+

That error is going to happen on All clean UEFI installs

The script is dependent upon a bootloader being installed and present on the system.

On a clean install the bootloader will not be installed until the end of the Configuration stage of the install well after the install on memtest86+.
