Package: nautilus Version: 2.14.3-11+b1 Severity: normal
For years my Nautilus desktop has had a symlink to 'SpaceMonger.exe', a handy "treeview" type freeware Windows .EXE. It was set to open under 'wine' and worked well. Under recent versions of 'nautilus' that symlink no longer runs, instead an error message appears: 1 The filename "SpaceMonger.exe" indicates that this file is of type 2 "executable". The contents of the file indicate that the file is of type 3 "DOS/Windows executable". If you open this file, the file might present 4 a security risk to your system. 5 Do not open the file unless you created the file yourself, or received 6 the file from a trusted source. To open the file, rename the file to the 7 correct extension for "DOS/Windows executable", then open the file 8 normally. Alternatively, use the Open With menu to choose a specific 9 application for the file. The second sentence of the second paragraph, (lines #6 & #7), is confusing. It alludes to a "correct" extension for a Windows .exe. Sounds OK, but what's "correct"? The error message should say which extension. Note that since the file name in question is "SpaceMonger.exe", (which ends in '.exe'), the file probably already had the correct extension; perhaps the above error message is being triggered incorrectly. Hope this helps... -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages nautilus depends on: ii desktop-file-utils 0.12-1 Utilities for .desktop files ii gnome-control-center 1:2.14.2-7 utilities to configure the GNOME d ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.19-3 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libatk1.0-0 1.18.0-2 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libbonobo2-0 2.18.0-2 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libc6 2.5-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libeel2-2.14 2.14.3-5 Eazel Extensions Library (for GNOM ii libesd-alsa0 [libesd0] 0.2.36-3 Enlightened Sound Daemon (ALSA) - ii libexif12 0.6.13-6 library to parse EXIF files ii libgail-common 1.8.11-4 GNOME Accessibility Implementation ii libgail17 1.8.11-4 GNOME Accessibility Implementation ii libgconf2-4 2.18.0.1-3 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.0-4 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.12.12-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-desktop-2 2.14.3-2 Utility library for loading .deskt ii libgnome2-0 2.18.0-4 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgnomecanvas2-0 2.14.0-2 A powerful object-oriented display ii libgnomeui-0 2.14.1-3 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgnomevfs2-0 1:2.18.1-2 GNOME Virtual File System (runtime ii libgtk2.0-0 2.8.20-7 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libnautilus-extension1 2.14.3-11+b1 libraries for nautilus components ii liborbit2 1:2.14.7-0.1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpango1.0-0 1.14.8-5 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpopt0 1.10-3 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii librsvg2-2 2.14.4-2 SAX-based renderer library for SVG ii libstartup-notification0 0.9-1 library for program launch feedbac ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxml2 2.6.28.dfsg-1 GNOME XML library ii nautilus-data 2.14.3-11 data files for nautilus ii shared-mime-info 0.21-2 FreeDesktop.org shared MIME databa Versions of packages nautilus recommends: pn desktop-base <none> (no description available) ii eject 2.1.5-1 ejects CDs and operates CD-Changer pn fam <none> (no description available) pn libgnomevfs2-extra <none> (no description available) ii librsvg2-common 2.14.4-2 SAX-based renderer library for SVG ii nautilus-cd-burner 2.14.3-8+b1 CD Burning front-end for Nautilus -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
