Description Tim Waugh 2013-11-26 17:44:25 UTC 
Description of problem:
cups ships a tmpfiles.d conf file but does not use %tmpfiles_create in its %post scriptlet. This could lead to problems if the local state directory is required between package installation and reboot.

Just add e.g.:
%tmpfiles_create %{_tmpfilesdir}/%{name}.conf
to %post scriptlet.

Hmm, actually, because %ghost isn't used in the manifest this probably isn't an issue.

But should %ghost be used? Or not?
Comment 2 Tim Waugh 2013-11-27 09:42:00 UTC 
Found the answer: %ghost should not be used.

Closing, as this is all correct here.

Nice catch,
somebody should have opened bug #656566 (and the other already CLOSED bugs as stated in https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/525#comment:2) because up to now I was still thinking that %ghost is needed.
