the problem is here
the one that doesn't have space between { and \ is broken
but my rpm has one with space

$ rpm -E '%update_desktop_database_postun'
{ \
if [ $1 = 0 ]; then \
        umask 022; \
        /usr/bin/update-desktop-database; \
fi; \
}
$ rpm -q rpm
rpm-4.3-0.20040107.60
$ rpm -q rpm-build --provides|grep mac
rpmbuild(macros) = 1.213
