Description of problem: the latest update of kdebase4 contains a desktop file which is empty: ---------------------------------- rpm -qlv kdebase4 |grep konquerorsu -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 22 21:44 /usr/share/applications/kde4/konquerorsu.desktop ---------------------------------- This results in errors when updating the desktop-database (which happens quite often during updating): ---------------------------------- /usr/bin/update-desktop-database /usr/share/applications Could not parse file '/usr/share/applications/kde4/konquerorsu.desktop': File is empty ---------------------------------- Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdebase4-4.0.3-9.fc8
Confirmed. The offending file is still present in kdebase4-4.0.4-1.fc8 in updates-testing.
The problem is this specfile # konquerorsu only show in KDE echo OnlyShowIn=KDE; >> %{buildroot}%{_kde4_datadir}/applications/kde4/konquerorsu.desktop which should only be there for F9+, and which is also broken there because the semicolon is not quoted, so this appends absolutely nothing (the output of the empty command) to konquerorsu.desktop.
Fixed in 4.0.4-2.fc9 and 4.0.72-2.fc10.
Uh, actually that's the other one (the unquoted semicolon), this one is fixed in 4.0.4-2.fc7 and 4.0.4-2.fc8 of course. :-)
