Created attachment 708949 [details] suggested patch Description of problem: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2013-March/114215.html > https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ScriptletSnippets#GConf Why does %post run --makefile-uninstall-rule for the new .schemas file? Shouldn't it use the old copy from the previous package release that was saved in %pre in /var/lib/rpm-state/gconf? Attached patch shows what I mean.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora19
You're right, we should fix this.
The guidelines just say "%gconf_schema_upgrade schema1 schema2", you can correct the inner macros to reflect the proper upgrade behavior as you need to.
