Having lately played around with (very) minimal installs, I was surprised to find how many packages' scriptlets fail on "%_excludedocs 1" setups. I've filed bugs against all Extras packages where I found the issue, as well as a bunch of Core packages that had more problems than a simple non-failsafe scriptlet (info files being erased on upgrades etc). In a nutshell, install-info in scriptlets should be protected both against the info files not existing (%_excludedocs 1) and read-only %_netsharedpath /usr/share installations.
