The bug's not tremendously easy to test.  You have to set up a box or
a virtual guest using a very minimal install, plus
fedora-release-notes.  The install has to be so bare that it doesn't
include yum, in fact.  (Which makes me feel kind of silly fixing it,
but whatever.)  The bug is that if someone didn't include the
coreutils package, which contains /bin/touch, then a RPM %post script
error happens when fedora-release-notes is installed.  The package
update fixes this problem, even though the other content doesn't
change.

If you find the package is still usable/readable per normal after the
update, then you can probably vote +1 karma in good conscience.  It
would be nice if some other intrepid soul checked that the bug is
fixed, though! :-)
