Comment 1 Tomas Hoger 2009-02-26 09:01:00 UTC 
This seems to have quite low impact, as both upstream and Fedora packages recommend removing installer script once site is configured.

mediawiki-1.14.0-45.fc10 has been pushed to the Fedora 10 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
