Public bug reported: Currently this package ships a .desktop file with the same icon as the one on the 'ubuntu-sdk-ide' package, yet it executes a different binary.
This can be extremely confusing to app developers, which a) won't know which icon to choose when launching the IDE and b) won't know either that a different installation of the IDE will be launched depending on the icon. In addition to that, a third package, 'qtcreator' ships a different icon that launches the qtcreator binary. $ dpkg -S /usr/share/applications/ubuntu-sdk-ide.desktop ubuntu-sdk-ide: /usr/share/applications/ubuntu-sdk-ide.desktop # Calls 'Exec=qtcreator %F' $ dpkg -S /usr/share/applications/ubuntusdk.desktop qtcreator-plugin-ubuntu: /usr/share/applications/ubuntusdk.desktop # Calls 'Exec=/usr/bin/ubuntu-sdk-ide %F' $ dpkg -S /usr/share/applications/qtcreator.desktop qtcreator: /usr/share/applications/qtcreator.desktop # Calls 'Exec=qtcreator %F' I'd suggest simply dropping the ubuntusdk.desktop icon from the qtcreator-plugin-ubuntu package.
