Hello!
In geda-gattrib package line 47 of configure.ac contains a typo in help
string:
...
AC_HELP_STRING([--disable-update-dektop-database],
...
(note missing s in word "desktop")
this is the reason, the option copied from the printed help does not work.
The same is in geda-gschem package, but line number is 73.
In both cases I get a file /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache, which
conflicts with the system file.
Thanks for a hint.
