W: rygel: desktop-command-not-in-package /usr/share/applications/rygel.desktop dbus-send


It might be wise to detect if desktop files uses commands not in the package
in the general case, but I think there's nothing wrong with the command
in the rygel desktop file.

Rygel is started via "dbus activation". The package already depends on
dbus, which contains the dbus-send command. I see nothing wrong
with using it directly..... or rather, no gain in writing
a shell script to use in the desktop file that simply calls dbus-send.

Maybe the warning should have a whitelist of commands to not warn about,
like dbus-send..... alternatively a more complex solution could be
to only warn if the command is not in the package *and* not in
any of the package dependencies either.

Not entirely sure about the purpose of this bug given it was fixed
*as* wontfix, but closing in the meantime to match the others...
