The same bug is reported for "Files", aka nautilus in bug #1068444. The problem is not the fact that there are more desktop files from the same package, but that there are multiple ones without NoDisplay=true set. E.g. for nautilus out of the five, three have NoDisplay set, but the remaining two cause nautilus to be displayed twice.
I don't agree with enforcing only one desktop file/package neither on app-install-data, nor on software-center side, as there are apps which ship more gui applications (like gtk and qt version of the GUI in the same package, or different GUI apps in one package). Rhythmbox is strange, as it has two desktop entries, but for rhythmbox- device NoDisplay is set, but still, it is displayed. I guess desktop entries with NoDisplay set shouldn't be shown in software-center, but that needs some confirmation. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1049835 Title: Software center shows multiple entries for banshee & rhythmbox To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/app-install-data-ubuntu/+bug/1049835/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
