Deleting the cache files is 'safe', just slightly reduces performance until a package is updated and forces a regeneration. Perhaps a really easy short term fix is just have desktop-file-install blow away the cache when it installs a file.
Note that this bug is Ubuntu-specific and arises because of gnome-menus with its 22_desktop-cache.patch and dpkg trigger that regenerates the cache when a desktop file is changed. -- application cache update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/592671 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to desktop-file-utils in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
