There seems there is still an odd "locking" problem when we
launch update-menus from within %post scriptlet of an RPM
(problems arises from the fact update-menus do itself an rpm
call, "rpm -qa"), flepied spent a large amount of time trying to
fix that before 9.2, actually had some success with some
scenarios, thought he caught all of them, but apparently not
really all, the problem being that it's very rare here and
absolutely not reproductible :/.

If *anyone* can reproduce it, please post here the steps to
reproduce it, I'm sure we can come up with a fix quickly. But
without it, it's a hell to debug.

A workaround is to launch "update-menus" as root.
