Not really a problem; the command has a '|| :' making the scriptlet
succeed. When you would want to handle missing files (--excludedocs or
--excludepaths), you would have to handle read-only %netsharedpath
mounts too (which would make install-info fail).


My (real) original macro was

| %define __isDirectoryShared	f() { rpm --eval '%%{_netsharedpath}' | awk -v y="$1" '{ split($1, x, ":"); for (i in x) if (index(y,x[i])==1) exit 0; exit 1; }'; }; fi
| %define __install_info	( %__isDirectoryShared %_infodir ) || /sbin/install-info --info-dir=%_infodir

but it is not really worth the effort because e.g. 'rpm' might be
missing in chroot environments and rpm maintainer refuses to add
functionality allowing to detect whether path is covered by
%netsharedpath resp. missing due to --exclude*.

Perhaps a '2>/dev/null' should be added.
