Here's a simple test case. 1. Verify that /usr/share/applications/defaults.list is a symlink to /etc/gnome/defaults.list 2. Download the attached .desktop file, and run 'sudo xdg-desktop-menu install jbebel-test.desktop'.
If /usr/share/applications/defaults.list remains a symlink, and /etc/gnome/defaults.list contains "x-test/true=jbebel-test.desktop" then it's a pass. If /etc/gnome/defaults.list did not get edited, and instead, now /usr/share/applications/defaults.list is a file that now contains "x-test/true=jbebel-test.desktop" then that's a fail. ** Attachment added: "test .desktop file" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xdg-utils/+bug/703106/+attachment/2075153/+files/jbebel-test.desktop -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/703106 Title: xdg-update-menu overwrites the /usr/share/applications/defaults.list symlink with a file. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
