I'm running into this warning installing 1.7.1 via RPM. The RPM appears to have installed

What distribution and version are you on?

We have a similar problem here. RPM release with CentOS 6. The node has 1.7.0 installed but when upgrade to 1.7.1, it gave the scriptlet failed error:

[root@william ~]# rpm -Uvh elasticsearch-1.7.1.noarch.rpm

We're on RHEL 6 and were going from 1.7.0 to 1.7.1.
