Hi, sure, however I've tried to compile from source before as well. The 
interesting part follows: no segfault with compilation, however it always 
segfaults when installing deb package from dapper repository. Please note that 
I've issued 'apt-get --reinstall isntall' as well to be sure not the binary 
damaged (desktop-file-utils) or something. Now, I did what that wiki page says 
and no more segfault after it! HOWEVER if I reinstall package from the 
repository with 'apt-get --reinstall install desktop-file-utils' segfault 
returns ...

I've also checked: it seems there is no segfault when executing 
update-desktop-database without any option, however it does if I use -v or -q 
but _NOT_ if -v and -q. Very strange ... I've also reinstalled any package 
desktop-file-utils depends on but no success ...

With -v switch, the output is:

Search path is now: [/usr/local/share/applications, /usr/share/applications, 
Segmentation fault

desktop-file-utils -q always segfaults
