I not sure it can be done, there is some issues with rpm not returning 
scriptlet errorcodes to yum, it just print a warning message to stdout.
It is a problem with all yum gui is know of, they dont catch scriptlet 
errors, because rpm dont signal that the transactions has errors, if a 
scriptlet fails.
