Executing yum/rpm commands using VMWare tools facility ("vmrun") fails in error when packages have scriptlets

Issue

• When executing a yum command using the VMWare tools facility vmrun, the command fails

• AVCs related to transition are seen in the audit log

• The output of the yum command shows Permission denies while executing scriptlets
