Processing triggers for shared-mime-info (1.9-2) ... /usr/share/mime/packages/gnuradio.xml:1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found It looks like the contents of the file were replaced with the filename of what should have been the symlink, so fixing itup by hand seems to work. # rm /usr/share/mime/packages/gnuradio.xml # ln -s /usr/share/gnuradio/grc/freedesktop/gnuradio-grc.xml /usr/share/mime/packages/gnuradio.xml this is on Ubuntu 18.04 with gnuradio 3.7.11-10:amd64. gnuradio_3.7.11-10.debian.tar.xz:debian/patches/direct-freedesktop- install contains the files: +# Install mime +install(FILES gnuradio-grc.xml DESTINATION share/mime/packages) which look ok, so not sure why its failing to create the file correctly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1769432 Title: Parse error during gnuradio installation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnuradio/+bug/1769432/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
