... and, of course, also to not include a file more than once in a single
%files section. That's a scenario such as with this application package,
but not limited to that:
%files
%{_bindir}/*
%{_datadir}/*
%{_libdir}/*
%doc COPYING README NEWS
%{_datadir}/applications/*.desktop
%dir %{_libdir}/%{name}
%{_libdir}/%{name}/plugins/
The entry for %_datadir/* also includes the .desktop file (well, perhaps
even other stuff in %_datadir/applications but that's a different prob ;).
The entry for %_libdir/* also includes %_libdir/%name and everything
below it. This confusing %files section bears the risk that the packager
makes mistakes when splitting of the plugins into subpackages, for example.
[The case when files are duplicated in several subpackages is worse.]
