I'm not > sure that simple display of text is also forbidden. Then let's make it "scriptlets can neither be interactive nor informative". You cannot expect GUI tools to capture stdout/stderr output and display it during or after installation/upgrade/removal of a package. In other words, output is lost (if not logged in any place, which would be non-obvious). Trying to give post-install instructions to a user via scriptlets is bad habit. Should happen in README %doc files instead. -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
