Sorry for the extra comments in this, but it got a little confusing. Attached is a "final" debdiff for upload.
What happened: -Debian fixed the .desktop file and patched the upstream .desktop file in the upstream source code tree -They did not patch the .desktop file in debian/ -Debian then installed the desktop file from debian/, so the bug propagated even though it was "fixed" This patch patches the .desktop file in debian/ and installs that one. I re-opened debian's bug to point that out to the maintainer. This bug will persist into maverick unless Debian fixes it as well. ** Patch added: "rcmdr_desktopfilefix.debdiff" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/48089093/rcmdr_desktopfilefix.debdiff ** Description changed: /usr/lib/R/site-library/Rcmdr/etc/linux/Rcmdr.sh is installed with mode 644, which makes the link from Apps|Science fail complaining about its being unable to create the child process for the console window. This bug has been addressed in Debian by cherry picking a new .desktop file from upstream - A patch that syncs with debian is attached below. + A patch that takes the fix from debian is attached below. TEST CASE: try to start rcmdr through the GNOME menu Regression potential: none, since it won't even start now. - - This does not need to be fixed in Maverick, since the autosyncer will automatically fix it. - + This does need to be fixed in Maverick unless it is fixed in debian + before freeze.
