If you are rebuilding packages on a different distribution then you often have to do various tweaks in specs to adjust them accordingly. The error you are seeing surely comes from a postinstallation scripts. You can check them with a command like rpm -q --scripts /var/spool/up2date/mozilla-chat-1.7.7-1.1.2.legacy.i386.rpm 'update-desktop-database' is a program from desktop-file-utils package but I do not know what was the earliest version of the later when this utility showed up. You can make your installation scripts in a spec file make less "version sensitive" if you will write them in a style like that: type -p update-desktop-database >/dev/null && update-desktop-database ... If you are using a full path then check with [ -x /full/path/to/this ] && /full/path/to/this .... Then with a missing program you will not see attempts of execution.
