--- Comment #1 from Adriaan de Groot <adridg@freebsd.org> ---
If we compare the RPM spec (which is part of the source distribution) with how
we package this on FreeBSD, rpm says

%ghost %verify(not md5 size mtime)
%{_localstatedir}/lib/PackageKit/transactions.db


That means "this file is not added to the package, but it is owned by the
package and should be removed when the package is removed; for
package-integrity purposes do not check the checksum, size or modification
times (but do check other attributes, like file owner)."

So you are correct that we **should not** be checking this file. I don't know
whether "remove from the plist" is the right solution, or some clever bit of
plist-hackery.
