From history in Synaptic;
"Commit Log for Mon Mar 2 13:41:22 2009
Installed the following packages:
fgfs-base (0.9.10-1)
flightgear (0.9.10-2)
freeglut3 (2.4.0-5)
libalut0 (1.0.1-1)
libopenal0a (1:0.0.8-4)
plib1.8.4c2 (1.8.4-6)
simgear0 (0.3.10-2)
"
So, the package and its dependencies show as having been installed, but
no .desktop file was apparently created.
Perhaps try reinstalling the flightgear package? It really should contain that
file...
Cheers,
Hello.
Thank you for the suggestion.
However, ...
Using Synaptic, I first marked the package for reinstallation, then
applied, so that it reinstalld the package.
No change.
Then, using Synaptic, I marked the package flightgear, and fgfs-base for
"Complete Removal", and applied, and then, marked the flightgear package
for installation (which then required fgfs-base, as a dependency) for
instakllation, and installed both packages.
No change.
Then, using Synaptic, I marked both packages for complete removal, and
applied. Then, I used apt-get to install flightgear.
No change.
Output is below (of last action).
