I would recommend not even attempting to do that kind of thing. How do you know the database is running at the time, or even that it's on the same machine?
That is quite the same situation I am facing right now with mantis: in older releases, users was forced to browse a specific page to update the schema. Now I proposed upstream the addition of a script for performing the same updates from the command line, so I could add it in a scriptlet: of course it could fail for many reasons, but if you have a working installation then the configuration files has all the information required to connect to the database. I don't know if a similar solution is applicable at all in your situation, because it mostly depends on how the schema update is implemented upstream -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
