Package: fritzing
Version: 0.9.3b+dfsg-4.1
Followup-For: Bug #893462

I just looked at the content of /usr/share/applications/fritzing.desktop 
(note the small f ;-P) and blinked. Seriously folks, you have two 
executables /usr/bin/fritzing and /usr/bin/Fritzing differing just by 
the case of the first letter, and of which the first segfaults when 
launched in the wrong directory ?!

So you can launch Fritzing from the command line just fine, on condition 
that you spell it with a capital F. It's just a script that cd-s into 
the right directory and exec-s fritzing...

May I suggest renaming /usr/bin/fritzing to /usr/bin/fritzing-the-binary 
or /usr/bin/fritzing-please-launch-Fritzing-instead (or whatever you 
feel like), maybe even creating a symlink fritzing->Fritzing, so that 
users don't get bitten by this ? Or alternatively show a proper error 
message instead of segfaulting.
