Odd eggdesktopentries.c messages when Gnome packages installed

["Kevin B. McCarty" <kmccarty@Princeton.EDU>]

Hi list,

Since a few days ago I've been getting strange error messages when
various Gnome-based applications are installed.  During today's install
from unstable:

Setting up gnome-games (2.8.1-3) ...

** (process:10974): CRITICAL **: file eggdesktopentries.c: line 2223
(egg_desktop_entries_add_group): assertion
`egg_desktop_entries_lookup_group (entries, group_name) == NULL' failed

[and repeated twice more]


Similarly with bug-buddy, gnumeric, etc.  This doesn't seem to abort any
package installations, so maybe it's only an aesthetic problem.  Anyone
know what it's a symptom of?

thanks,
