You appear to have a singular/plural mismatch with: installs a FreeDesktop desktop entries I guess that should instead be: installs FreeDesktop desktop entries (or perhaps it should be singular throughout, I'm not sure) Cheers, Phil. P.S. Just in case this is an oversight, rather than an intentional change: Shouldn't "desktop entry" and "Debian menu entry" be somehow emphasised, to make it clear that there is a reference back to the earlier definition? If you meant to get rid of that, no problem. -- |)| Philip Hands [+44 (0)20 8530 9560] HANDS.COM Ltd. |-| http://www.hands.com/ http://ftp.uk.debian.org/ |(| Hugo-Klemm-Strasse 34, 21075 Hamburg, GERMANY
