Description:   Opened: 2007-03-23 22:24 0000 
The desktop file of audacity-1.3.2-r1 can't be parsed by
"update-desktop-database" (from desktop-file-utils-0.12). The command outputs
the following error message:

Could not parse file '/usr/share/applications/audacity.desktop': Key file
contains line '?[Desktop Entry]' which is not a key-value pair, group, or
comment

------- Comment #1 From Ulrich Müller 2007-03-23 22:27:53 0000 ------- 
$ hexdump -C /usr/share/applications/audacity.desktop | head -3
00000000  ef bb bf 5b 44 65 73 6b  74 6f 70 20 45 6e 74 72  |[Desktop

00000010  79 5d 0a 45 6e 63 6f 64  69 6e 67 3d 55 54 46 2d  |y].Encoding=UTF-|

The file starts with "ef bb bf" ("zero width no-break space" in UTF-8). If I
remove these 3 bytes, then there is no more error message.
