I'm not sure what this app/command does or if it's necessary but it seems portage is using it somehow. I detected this when I ran dmesg and noticed notes about segfault like the following: update-desktop-[10610]: segfault at 00000000 eip 080494d5 esp bfef7740 error 4 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.run update-desktop-database 2.n/a 3.n/a Actual Results: Search path is now: [/usr/local/share/applications, /usr/share/applications, /usr/share/applications] Could not create cache file in directory '/usr/local/share/applications': Error opening directory '/usr/local/share/applications': No such file or directory File '/usr/share/applications/xfce4-autostart-editor.desktop' lacks MimeType key File '/usr/share/applications/amdcccle-ati-drivers.desktop' lacks MimeType key (update-desktop-database:10610): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_key_file_get_string_list: assertion `group_name != NULL' failed Segmentation fault Expected Results: ? After googling this seems like a common problem with desktop-file-utils.

/usr/share/applications. I've edited realplay.desktop to only contain a (shell) comment so that it won't appear in my menu. When I delete this file update-desktop-database doesn't segfault anymore. However I do consider this a bug since an application shouldn't crash when fed wrong input... Whatever you decide to do about this I'm grateful for your efforts. Thanks! Peter K eva@gentoo.org 2008-02-10 21:55:58 0000 although it was a known problem, noone fixed it yet. Thanks for the links, the patch is now in tree and hopefully fixes your problem. Please reopen if it's not the case. 143164 2008-02-10 21:10 0000 backtrace log of update-desktop-database backtrace.log text/plain IzAgIDB4MDgwNDk2MTEgaW4gcHJvY2Vzc19kZXNrdG9wX2ZpbGUgKAogICAgZGVza3RvcF9maWxl PTB4ODA0ZTdiOCAiL3Vzci9zaGFyZS9hcHBsaWNhdGlvbnMvcmVhbHBsYXkuZGVza3RvcCIsIAog ICAgbmFtZT0weDgwNTBmZTggInJlYWxwbGF5LmRlc2t0b3AiLCBlcnJvcj0weGJmZTM4ZWQwKQog ICAgYXQgdXBkYXRlLWRlc2t0b3AtZGF0YWJhc2UuYzoyMDMKIzEgIDB4MDgwNDk3OTkgaW4gcHJv Y2Vzc19kZXNrdG9wX2ZpbGVzICgKICAgIGRlc2t0b3BfZGlyPTB4ODA0ZTEwMCAiL3Vzci9zaGFy ZS9hcHBsaWNhdGlvbnMiLCBwcmVmaXg9MHg4MDRhM2Y1ICIiLCAKICAgIGVycm9yPTB4YmZlMzhm MTQpIGF0IHVwZGF0ZS1kZXNrdG9wLWRhdGFiYXNlLmM6MjczCiMyICAweDA4MDQ5Yzg1IGluIHVw ZGF0ZV9kYXRhYmFzZSAoCiAgICBkZXNrdG9wX2Rpcj0weDgwNGUxMDAgIi91c3Ivc2hhcmUvYXBw bGljYXRpb25zIiwgZXJyb3I9MHhiZmUzOGZiYykKICAgIGF0IHVwZGF0ZS1kZXNrdG9wLWRhdGFi YXNlLmM6NDE1CiMzICAweDA4MDRhMDAwIGluIG1haW4gKGFyZ2M9MSwgYXJndj0weGJmZTM5MDc0 KSBhdCB1cGRhdGUtZGVza3RvcC1kYXRhYmFzZS5jOjUxOAo=
