This is good information Bruno, thanks. If this were killing live images regularly, I think we'd know it since fedora-release-notes is generally included on most of the nightlies. I believe the /bin/touch is simply used to ensure the icon cache is updated. The fact that the cache still works fine even when the scriptlet fails is probably due to it running correctly multiple times after coreutils *is* around. -- Paul W.
