Attached is a patched Makefile that resolves the update-desktop-database
problem.
The problem
-----------
The command
update-desktop-database
updates the cache file of each entry found in
XDG_DATA_DIRS
The user running the command must have write permission in each datadir
associated with each entry in XDG_DATA_DIRS. If not, the command will
fail.
The solution
------------
(1) Restrict XDG_DATA_DIRS to
$garnome/share
while running the command from the GAR Makefile.
(2) add and "exit" to handle the case where the command fails
so "make paranoid-install" will stop if something "bad" happens.
