Well, common sense suggests to look in /usr/bin. Does that really needs
to be explicit in the spec ? Come on.
Specifically SuSE has for historical reasons:
sbrabec~> which update-desktop-database
/opt/gnome/bin/update-desktop-database
It should be in PATH in any case.
But you can use:
update-desktop-database 2>/dev/null || true
Or specifically in current version of SuSE:
SuSEconfig --module desktop-file-utils
It is started after installation of any package.
I thought the idea was, not to have one check for every distro/version of
distro,
but to have one common way, defined by a standard.
