to mass-file bugs wrt installing packages using --excludedocs. Problem
being that many of these bugs are about scriptlet output, like, in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=515925
install-info: No such file or directory for /usr/share/info/pinentry.info
which follows our current guidlines,
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ScriptletSnippets#Texinfo
and is not fatal to the transaction.
Should the guideline be changed to suppress the erroneous output, or
checks added (as suggested in the aforementioned bug), like
[ -f %{_infodir}/pinentry.info ] && ...
Well, if there is output that we wouldn't want suppressed, we could do
the file check, but I'm wondering how much of a slow down it would be to
check for that file several hundred times in a large transaction.
