[fritz at smeagol RPMS]$ rpm -qp glabels-2.0.2-3.i686.rpm --scripts output
postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):

        /usr/bin/scrollkeeper-update -q;

{\
        umask 022; \
        /usr/bin/update-desktop-database; \
}
postuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):

if [ $1 = 0 ]; then
        /usr/bin/scrollkeeper-update -q;
fi

{\
if [ $1 = 0 ]; then \
        umask 022; \
        /usr/bin/update-desktop-database; \
fi \
}

and old beheviour was:
postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):

        umask 022;
        /usr/bin/update-desktop-database;
postuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):

if [ $1 = 0 ]; then
        umask 022;
        /usr/bin/update-desktop-database;
fi
