Description Stanislav Brabec 2006-11-21 17:18:09 UTC
Please never use "*" in schemas names in %post and file list. Just now it works, but it can easily break:

Suppose you have apps_evolution_shell-2.8.schemas, which is going to be updated to apps_evolution_shell-2.10.schemas.

In such situation, gconftool call with wildcard will install apps_evolution_shell-2.10.schemas, which will be immediately replaced by apps_evolution_shell-2.8.schemas, which is surely not intended.

Not using in "*" schemas file list is cosmetic and prevents accidental overseeing of a new schemas file while upgrading.
