how to reproduce: - "yum install hotwire" - "rpm -V hotwire": S.5....T /usr/share/applications/hotwire.desktop This is for sure not a critical problem, but in general a package should pass this test and should not have any altered files (besides config files). The reason for the problem is, that the desktop file is installed via "desktop-file-install" in the %post script during installation. The usual way is to install the desktop file with "desktop-file-insall" during the %install step of the rpm build process (see e.g. evince.spec).
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
The problem is still present in F10, so moving the bug to F10, too. I've attached a patch for hotwire.spec to fix the problem: - create hotwire.spec during the build process and not in the %post section during installation - call update-desktop-database in %post and %postun As far as I know this is the way as the *.desktop files should be used. ;-) It would be great if the patch could be applied and an updated packaged pushed to updates... Thanks in advance!

(In reply to comment #4) > Do you have a Fedora account? If so please apply. Actually I have an account, but because I haven't finished the whole approval procedures yet, I don't have any permissions. Please can you do the checkin? ;-)
