Bug#269265: kdelibs: KDE woody->sarge: .desktop files changed their location (RC?)
Package: kdelibs
Version: 4:3.2.3-2
Severity: important
Hello,
the .desktop files originally in /usr/share/applnk/ have now apparently
migrated to /usr/share/applications/kde/...
Since the default kicker quickstart icons used those files, KDE installations
from woody and pre-3.2 sarge lose those quick access icons (well they're
defunct, not gone).
(example - kmail:)
kmail <3.2: /usr/share/applnk/Internet/KMail.desktop
kmail 3.2: /usr/share/applications/kde/KMail.desktop
This is of course quite ugly. Most users confronted with this are helpless and
really don't like going back to starting popular stuff via the K-menu.
Has someone written a script for that?
Except writing a hacky sed script going through user's homedirs to fix that
(which we did in one case), does anyone have an idea to fix this for real
(like, moving the .desktop stuff back to where they were for sarge and do a
real migration script afterwards)?
