Hi,

I'm trying to build a package. It's an update on SparkleShare <https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/search/sparkleshare> package. I build it locally with mock and everything seems ok. Package is built successfully. But when I try to build it on koji I get an error and build fails on both f16 f17 targets:
"The databases in [/usr/share/applications] could not be updated."
which I think has something to do with the desktop-file-validate on %install phase

See the relevant koji task and build log for more:

Any help appreciated

From the log, it looks like it fails in 'install-data-hook'. If so, the culprit might be some Makefile.am. Have upstream updated a Makefile.am to include 'desktop-file-install', failing when not making a "real" install int /usr?

If this is right, you should be able to verify that the %install hasn't really begun when the error is triggered. If unsure, put some simple 'echo' statement in top of %install to verify that it hasn't been started.

If this doesn't help, scanning the generated Makefiles for 'desktop-file-install' and/or '/usr/share/applications' might give a clue
