Package: lynx Version: 2.8.5-2 Severity: minor Tags: patch Lynx installs a desktop entry file in obsolete format and in obsolete location. Today, both GNOME and KDE (and others should, 'cause it's a de-facto standard now) supports freedesktop.org's desktop-entry and menu specifications. So I prepared a standard-compilant .desktop file for lynx. Place it into /usr/share/applications. Also you should add something like these to the postinst script (or just use dh_desktop):
if [ "$1" = "configure" ] && which update-desktop-database >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then update-desktop-database -q fi This is needed to update the MIME cache, because lynx is registered as a handler for HTML files. Finally, you should remove the old .desktop file in /usr/share/applnk/.
