nThis:


Please never use "*" in schemas names in %post and file list. Just now it
works, but it can easily break:

Suppose you have apps_evolution_shell-2.8.schemas, which is going to be updated
to apps_evolution_shell-2.10.schemas.

In such situation, gconftool call with wildcard will install
apps_evolution_shell-2.10.schemas, which will be immediately replaced by
apps_evolution_shell-2.8.schemas, which is surely not intended.

Not using in "*" schemas file list is cosmetic and prevents accidental
overseeing of a new schemas file while upgrading.
