I appreciate this, and FYI, I'm now handling the errata.

This is something that we can't fix. The portmap package in original 5.0
had brokenness in the %post section that didn't allow for upgrades. People
will have to just manually run ntsysv/chkconfig after installing the new
portmap package. Erik is hacking rpm to handle the couple of packages that
are messed up like this for 5.1.
