Why to add new user account and another dangerous sgid application? These data were updated by root after the (un)installation and should never be changed by users.

Hm. the %post-un and %post scriplets are run as root anyway, so there is no need for a new sgid application, right?

Sorry. I was thinking you are proposing new UID owning /var/lib/scrollkeeper.

There was another problem during build you have another problem: It (incorrectly) tried to create and access /var/lib/scrollkeeper during %install, but it fails, because build process has no permission there. And the bug caused segfault: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=230786

If scrollkeeper was used as root, it was working correctly.

Thing is, scrollkeeper _was_ used as root during RPM post-install phase, right? In any case, the problem is the version shipping in 10.2+updates does /not/ initialize /var/lib/scrollkeeper unless scrollkeeper-rebuilddb is run.

In past, scrollkeeper was used by root in SuSEconfig (and triggered by RPM postinstall), so /var/lib/scrollkeeper was existing in the build root and this segfault was hidden.

Now scrollkeeper is only a development package and nobody calls scrollkeeper-rebuilddb, so /var/lib/scrollkeeper does not exist.

I'm having the same problem (when packaging rubrica2) for openSUSE 10.2 when calling scrollkeeper in the %post section

Will there be a fix included in the scollkeeper package? Otherwise different solutions/workarounds will show up on various places...(both good and bad solutions)

From what I understand, we're not supposed to call scrollkeeper at all -- scrollkeeper should never be in the Require, Require(post) or Require(postun) anymore.
