Gentoo Full Text Bug Listing

Description:

Opened: 2008-02-10 19:52 0000

update-desktop-database segfaults when run. 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. For
instance see:
