Source-highlight %post relies on install-info, without actually having a dependency on install-info. It isn't the only package, from my checkout there are loads of packages without that dependency. Something must've changed.

Info installs are handled by filetriggers nowadays. I removed post/postun as unneeded.

We had a patch in rpm to generate info-install requires for pkgs having info files, but it was removed a while ago.

Thank you BitTwister for the report; and Olav & Jani for the comments. These seem to beg the question what to do about it, so in the absence of a particular maintainer for the package, assigning to all packagers knowing that you two are already CC'd and involved.

With the file-trigger in place there's no need for scripltets (%post, etc) to refer to these. So basically it's a matter of removing this from every package.

I'm adjusting the summary to be a bit better. Difficult to summarize the problem without using too many words though.

I've cleaned about 25 packages. There's still something like 25 to go.

Comment 7 Olav Vitters 2020-08-20 20:43:39 CEST

I think I got all others. I'll grep again tomorrow.

Comment 8 Olav Vitters 2020-08-21 10:33:09 CEST

I overlooked one package, fixed that one as well. Not everything built, I'm going to ignore that.
