Is there a specific reason why there is no "|| :" at the end of
"%{_bindir}/fc-cache %{_datadir}/fonts"? I think there should be one, as
this happened to me during a F-7 -> rawhide update (that's still in
progress while I'm writing this mail, so more errors might show up):

This is because of timestamp problem on your machine. check " man
FcDirCacheValid" to know more why FcDirCacheValid call produced output
as " failed to write cache".
