Package: mnemosyne
Version: 2.11+ds1-1
Followup-For: Bug #1100085
Control: severity -1 serious

If you are a user of mnemosyne on debian trixie/sid currently, you will
notice that the application does not launch at all, and has two other
serious severity bugs reported for it [1] [2] that make it unsuitable
for a stable release.

The application expects the icons to be located at the standard
location, as specified in [3]. Placing the icons into /usr/pixmaps/
means you get a missing icon in the desktop menus, manually copying them
to /usr/share/pixmaps/ makes the icons work again as expected.

Debian packaging manual also mentions /usr/share/pixmaps/ as the correct
location [4] in section 3.7

This is an immediately user-visible bug that affects user experience and
breaks the application recognition. Increasing severity again, so that
it has enough visibility in case someone manages to fix [1] and [2] in
time for trixie and does not miss this bug. Debian trixie should not
release with an application that has this sort of immediately
user-visible bug.
