Hello Ahmed, Thanks for looking at this. I see two ways around this problem. First you can add TryExec=pcb to the .desktop file, so the desktop entry is only valid when a pcb binary is available (see the XDG draft). Instead, you could move the desktop file to the pcb package. Since it depends on pcb-gtk | pcb-lesstif, the pcb binary will always be available. > So, is it ok to remove this "pcb-gtk | pcb-lesstif" dependancy in this > case ?

I agree that this should be avoided if this create broken menu entries. Cheers, Bill. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
