RPM %post and %preun scriptlets used raw systemctl commands that exit non-zero when systemd is installed but not running, causing Anaconda to abort package installation (libdnf5 treats scriptlet errors as fatal). %post: Replace raw 'systemctl enable [--now]' with 'systemctl enable || :' gated on $1 == 1. For Start: true, use a separate 'systemctl start || :' guarded by /run/systemd/system. We intentionally avoid %systemd_post because it calls 'systemctl preset' which defers to system preset policy and would break the Enable: true contract. %preun: Replace raw 'systemctl disable --now' with %systemd_preun macro, which handles the $1 == 0 check and /run/systemd/system guard internally.
