** Description changed: Recently I found "Debian Reference(debian-reference-common)" item in Ubuntu Software and attempted to install and run it out of curiosity, however the "Launch" icon isn't working. After examining the file listing I noticed that the installed /usr/share/applications/desktop- reference.desktop desktop entry executes `debian-reference` command, which in turn tries to locate /usr/share/debian-reference/index.html but failed because that the file is not created by /usr/share/debian- reference-common/mkindexhtml script due to missing debian- reference-<lang> package files. In my opinion the desktop entry file should be packaged in debian- reference instead, so Ubuntu Software will tries to install debian- reference package and in turn installing at least debian-reference-en which will triggers /usr/share/debian-reference-common/mkindexhtml script to generate /usr/share/debian-reference/index.html, making the desktop entry valid. Another possible solution would be making /usr/share/debian-reference- common/mkindexhtml script to generate a dummy index page and instructs viewer to install the desired debian-reference-<lang> package. ## Bug Reproducing Instructions ## - * Make sure that no debian-reference* packages are installed - * Locate and install "Debian Reference" from the Ubuntu Software - * Attempt to launch the installed application either from Ubuntu Software or from the appliction menu/lens + 1.
