$ yum -y install zikula
…
$ rpm -qf /usr/share/zikula /usr/share/zikula/*|uniq -c
      4 zikula-1.2.3-5.fc19.noarch
      1 file /usr/share/zikula/docs is not owned by any package
     19 zikula-1.2.3-5.fc19.noarch

That's a packaging mistake. If /usr/share/zikula/docs is left behind,
RPM cannot remove the parent dir.

Same here. Symlinks in there, which don't get removed, and that blocks
all parent dirs:

# rpm -qf /usr/share/zikula/includes/classes/*
file /usr/share/zikula/includes/classes/adodb is not owned by any package
file /usr/share/zikula/includes/classes/php-gettext is not owned by any package
file /usr/share/zikula/includes/classes/SimplePie is not owned by any package
file /usr/share/zikula/includes/classes/Smarty is not owned by any package
