    Hi,

      
      I'm trying to build a package. It's an update on 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
