Packaging/ScriptletSnippets, fonts section: no "|| :" at the end of the fc-cache call?

[Thorsten Leemhuis]

Hi all,

the Fonts section on
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ScriptletSnippets
contains this:

Is there a specific reason why there is no "|| :" at the end of
"%{_bindir}/fc-cache %{_datadir}/fonts"? I think there should be one, as
this happened to me during a F-7 -> rawhide update (that's still in
progress while I'm writing this mail, so more errors might show up):

  This is because of timestamp problem on your machine. check " man
FcDirCacheValid" to know more why FcDirCacheValid call produced output
as " failed to write cache".

I noticed in between that is was something stupid on my side, but that
doesn't matter much IMHO. The ScriptletSnippets IMHO and AFAIK should be
adjusted to make sure the script for this or similar errors don't end
with a errorlevel != 0

If this is a one-off or a very unusual failure, I don't see what for.

We only ignore harmless common errors.

No, we only accept non-zero scriptlet exit statuses *very* rarely, if ever.  
See the last two paragraphs of the Syntax chapter of

I agree.
