Description of problem: Please don't restart httpd in scriptlets. This must be left to root to do as and when they decide it is necessary. e.g. if httpd.conf is in a bad state the condrestart unnecessarily kills httpd. If e.g. this is a production server the condrestart kills active requests. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): phpMyAdmin-2.9.2-1.fc6
I could have sworn that condrestart was a policy of ours. Let me do some research and make sure its not. If its not I'll turn it off, if it is perhaps we need to change it.
As I can read, it seems a can and not a must: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ScriptletSnippets?highlight=%28condrestart%29#head-97754e2c646616c5f6222f0cfc6923c60765133e
I had a look to the other httpd specific packages and none seems to do such a conditional restart. Anyway I'm personally really pissed of each time, I apply a phpMyAdmin update and httpd goes down for the restart (because it takes a couple of time at our servers). I would remove that condrestart with the next update of the package.
Also e.g. if you get ten different httpd modules updated in a single transaction you get ten separate restarts. It's just nuts - don't do it :)
