Bug Description

As seen at https://errors.ubuntu.com/bucket/?id=%2Fusr%2Fshare%2Fapport%2Fapport-gtk%3Aconfigparser.DuplicateOptionError%3A%3Cmodule%3E%3Arun_argv%3Arun_crashes%3Arun_crash%3Aui_present_report_details%3Aget_desktop_entry%3Aread%3A_read
apport which is using configparser is crashing with the file /usr/share/applications/indicator-datetime-preferences.desktop.

The error follows:

configparser.DuplicateOptionError: While reading from /usr/share/applications/indicator-datetime-preferences.desktop [line 18]: option 'x-ubuntu-gettext-domain' in section 'Desktop Entry' already exists

Looking at that file there are in fact two 'x-ubuntu-gettext-domain' options set.

I'd think is is causing an error when people try and use apport to report a bug about indicator-datetime.

More of a packaging bug I guess.

Hmm, I'm not sure where this error is being introduced. indicator-datetime-preferences.desktop starts off as a template file:

> http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~indicator-applet-developers/indicator-datetime/trunk.12.10/view/head:/data/indicator-datetime-preferences.desktop.in

Which uses INTLTOOL_DESKTOP_RULE (http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~intltool/intltool/trunk/view/head:/intltool.m4#L75) to generate the .desktop file, which looks like this:

> http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/indicator-datetime/ubuntu/view/head:/data/indicator-datetime-preferences.desktop

which is identical to the one in /usr/share/applications except the latter adds the two X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain lines.

This bug was fixed in the package indicator-datetime - 12.10.0-0ubuntu2

  * data/indicator-datetime-preferences.desktop.in
    - Removed stray lines from the desktop file, it's causing duplicate
      X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain to get added. (LP: #1048834)
