Petr, what do you think? tzdata can't do that, since: a) it is a *.noarch.rpm package b) it can't rely on bash and coreutils being installed for its %post, that would be a fatal dependency loop But, glibc-common since ~ September 2005 does that in its %triggerin common -p /usr/sbin/tzdata-update -- tzdata Jakub -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
