Bug#819721: [qgis] Desktop entry for qgis and qbrowser broken

[Leonhard Weber]

Package: qgis
Version: 2.8.6+dfsg-1~bpo8+1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hi,

the desktop entry for the /usr/bin/qgis.bin and /usr/bin/qbrowser.bin
binaries point towards /usr/bin/qgis
and /usr/bin/qbrowser respectively instead.

Either the binaries are being installed with an unintended suffix of
.bin or the desktop entries are broken.
Not sure which one given that debian/rules seem to explicitly install to
a non-suffixed name.

I have taken the liberty to attach a patch for the latter case, which is
the workaround I decided to deploy
at our environment for the time being.

Thanks for your work as maintainer.
Best regards,
Leonhard Weber
