The problem here is the way nautilus copies the file copies it as a symlink maintaining the same relative target - so you get a symlink to "../desktop-menu-patches/redhat-presentations.desktop" in ~/.gnome-desktop Alex what will break if we follow symlinks when copying them? Shouldn't we have absolute symlinks instead? Following symlinks would break copying symlinks. rpmlint will have a hissy if we use absolute symlinks. Copying symlinks probably needs to revise the relative symlink to point to the right place :-/ But absolute symlinks makes sense here. screw rpmlint! Several package rebuilds involved in switching to absolute, including OpenOffice :-/ We could do it I guess. Bill what do you think? I don't care if they're absolute or relative symlinks. I just want it to *work*. OK we need to fix this in all packages with the relative symlinks. There are 15 symlinks on my test machine everything install: gnome-control-center.desktop (control-center) gnome-gdmsetup.desktop (gdm) gnome-pilot.desktop (gnome-pilot) openoffice-printeradmin.desktop (OOo) openoffice-setup.desktop (OOo) redhat-audio-player.desktop (xmms?) redhat-diagrams.desktop (dia) redhat-drawing.desktop (OOo) redhat-email.desktop (evolution) redhat-gnomemeeting.desktop (gnomemeeting) redhat-math.desktop (OOo) redhat-presentations.desktop (OOo) redhat-spreadsheet.desktop (OOo) redhat-web.desktop (mozilla) redhat-word-processor.desktop (OOo) cc'ing relevant persons. Seen I posted the original report, I can fix this if required and post back the fixes, to save anyone the trouble? segfault, I think these fixes are extremely simple changes to %install scripts in the spec file, so patches aren't really necessary. appreciate the offer though. redhat-web.desktop (in htmlview) is fixed with 2.0.0-6. I don't see that for redhat-gnomemeeting.desktop on my recently installed tree. dia-0.90-6 should fix the redhat-diagram one. #72572 filed to be sure it isn't forgotten for openoffice. Only gnome-pilot is left I think. The latest from up2date seems to have fixed the problem. Good work.. Mark This is still happening on the official 8.0 release, I can reproduce it on 4 machines and other members have reported the same still happening. The rpm that I downloaded from the link Havoc mentioned above fixed it in Null, but its come back in Psyche Opps, sorry wrong bug report So we can close this report then? |
