--- Begin Message ---Package: mpv Version: 0.2.1-1 Severity: normal --- Please enter the report below this line. --- Hi, the package installs /usr/share/applications/mpv.desktop, which seems useless to me. When a user clicks the mpv entry in a start menu, nothing happens since mpv without any arguments just spits out some text on stdout. In my opinion a user probably expects something to pop up on the screen, e.g., to select a movie file to playback with mpv. Cheers - Fuddl PS: [Try-]Exec=mpv is bad, it should be an absolute path pointing to binaries, to avoid possibly weird/broken users' $PATH environments. --- System information. --- Architecture: amd64 Kernel: Linux 3.11-1-amd64 Debian Release: jessie/sid 500 unstable ftp.de.debian.org 1 experimental ftp.de.debian.org --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed ==============================================-+-====================== libasound2 (>= 1.0.16) | 1.0.27.2-3 libass4 (>= 0.10.1) | 0.10.1-3 libavcodec54 (>= 6:9.1-1) | 6:9.10-1 OR libavcodec-extra-54 (>= 6:9.10) | libavfilter3 (>= 6:9.1-1) | 6:9.10-1 libavformat54 (>= 6:9.1-1) | 6:9.10-1 libavresample1 (>= 6:9.1-1) | 6:9.10-1 libavutil52 (>= 6:9.1-1) | 6:9.10-1 libbluray1 | 1:0.4.0-1 libbs2b0 | 3.1.0+dfsg-2 libc6 (>= 2.15) | 2.17-93 libcdio-cdda1 (>= 0.83) | 0.83-4 libcdio-paranoia1 (>= 0.83) | 0.83-4 libcdio13 (>= 0.83) | 0.83-4 libdvdread4 | 4.2.0+20130219-2 libegl1-mesa (>= 7.8.1) | 9.2.2-1 OR libegl1-x11 | libegl1-mesa-drivers | 9.2.2-1 libenca0 (>= 1.9) | 1.15-1 libgl1-mesa-glx | 9.2.2-1 OR libgl1 | libguess1 | 1.1-3 libjack-jackd2-0 (>= 1.9.5~dfsg-14) | OR libjack-0.116 | libjpeg8 (>= 8c) | 8d-1 liblcms2-2 | 2.2+git20110628-2.3 liblircclient0 | 0.9.0~pre1-1 liblua5.1-0 | 5.1.5-5 libmng1 (>= 1.0.10) | 1.0.10-3 libmpg123-0 (>= 1.13.7) | 1.16.0-1 libncurses5 (>= 5.5-5~) | 5.9+20130608-1 libpostproc52 (>= 5:0.git20120217~) | 6:0.git20120821-4 libpulse0 (>= 0.99.1) | 4.0-6+b1 libquvi7 (>= 0.4.0) | 0.4.1-2 libsdl2-2.0-0 (>= 2.0.0) | 2.0.0+dfsg1-3 libswscale2 (>= 6:9.1-1) | 6:9.10-1 libtinfo5 | 5.9+20130608-1 libva-x11-1 (>> 1.1.0~) | 1.1.1-3 libva1 (>> 1.1.0~) | 1.1.1-3 libvdpau1 (>= 0.2) | 0.7-1 libwayland-client0 (>= 1.0.2) | 1.3.0-1 libwayland-cursor0 (>= 1.0.2) | 1.3.0-1 libx11-6 | 2:1.6.2-1 libxext6 | 2:1.3.2-1 libxinerama1 | 2:1.1.3-1 libxkbcommon0 (>= 0.3.1) | 0.3.1-2 libxss1 | 1:1.2.2-1 libxv1 | 2:1.0.9-1 libxxf86vm1 | 1:1.1.3-1 zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4) | 1:1.2.8.dfsg-1 Package's Recommends field is empty.
