Because when we do stuff in RPM build roots, PEAR has nowhere to write its package data (e.g. list of installed packages) so it sets up all those files. They are not needed in any way. Arguably the --packagingroot option should omit the generation of these files full stop. Might be worth discussing upstream.
Yes, please, we should not have to deal with this in every single pear spec file.

I'll change the spec to %exclude and then we can just remove that once upstream fixes pear/pecl commands from generating those files. -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
