[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Multi-line update-alternatives calls in scriptlets failing with 6.0 beta 1 (Issue #3865)

OK, so this isn't rpm, and it's *two* things.

the fakeroot case is quite simple, and it's caused by bash 5.3. Installing fakeroot with bash 5.2 gives no errors. Installing fakeroot with bash 5.3, one of the commands prints a usage message instead of working.

the wine-core case is weirder. The scriptlet has actually been failing for longer than I thought - in the [20250709.n.0 log](https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/8771/134698771/root.log) you can see the usage messages, interspersed with other output, and also this:
```
DEBUG util.py:461:  [ DEBUG   ]: 06:21:14 | bootstrap: >>> [RPM] %posttrans(wine-core-10.4-6.fc43.i686) scriptlet failed, exit status 2
```
but...the image build completed. So it seems like up until 20250709.n.0 the scriptlet failure wasn't fatal for the image build. But from 20250710.n.0 onwards it seems to be.

Anyhow - rpm is not at fault in any of this, so closing.
