What you are describing is a very different bug, not at all the issue from this bug report! This makes me believe that the issue in this bug report is actually already fixed in 1.0.6 and we can close this bug, but I am waiting for Sebastian Ramacher to confirm that. As for your bug: That one I can reproduce! Thank you for the reproduction instructions, that was very helpful. And it's odd that it only appeared now, and not ages ago - my theory is that some improvement in GLib may have surfaced it now, or simply that most packages had good desktop-entry files so far. Either way, I fixed it in https://github.com/ximion/appstream/commit/e0bcc1ac5ba8e473a29ef1b71fa80d86f409a431 I will upload a patched version tomorrow, since this issue affects Lintian - that should resolve your issue. Cheers, Matthias -- I welcome VSRE emails. See http://vsre.info/
