If verified with "rpm -qf …" and "rpmls …" and no other installed package
includes those directories either, that would be a packaging mistake and
should be reported in bugzilla. A so-called "unowned directory", i.e. a
directory entry missing in the package's spec file %files list(s).

However, when looking up

  http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/zikula.git/plain/zikula.spec

I find

  %files

  %defattr(-,root,root,-)
  %doc docs/*
  %{_datadir}/%{name}

and the last line includes /usr/share/zikula and everything in it, so
no idea what package version you refer to.
