Gary, I just *tried it* !
No it doesn't. The actual scripts are
%if %{gcj_support}
%post
if [ -x %{_bindir}/rebuild-gcj-db ]
then
%{_bindir}/rebuild-gcj-db
fi
%endif
%if %{gcj_support}
%postun
if [ -x %{_bindir}/rebuild-gcj-db ]
then
%{_bindir}/rebuild-gcj-db
fi
%endif
So, if gcj is installed the right thing happens and if gcj isn't installed
the right thing still happens.
I don't think that if gcj is not installed the
right thing still happens
because if rebuild-gcj-db is not available and the gcj-db isn't rebuild then
the gcj bits will be simply unusable or I'm wrong?
