Smart occasionally seems dumb

[worker201]

I've noticed this a lot recently: whenever I use Smart package manager to upgrade my system (both on FC4 and FC5), I get the strangest error messages concerning Adobe Acrobat

Here's one I got today:

Output from gnome-utils-1:2.14.0-5.fc5@i386:
Could not parse file '/usr/share/applications/kde/AdobeReader.desktop': Failed to open file '/usr/share/applications/kde/AdobeReader.desktop': No such file or directory

It doesn't happen with every package, but the error is always the same. The package gets installed with no problems, so I guess it isn't too important. But it is very curious - I don't even use KDE.

I am assuming you have the "AdobeReader" RPM installed. What is the output of:

Code: Select all

# rpm -V AdobeReader


and:

Code: Select all

# rpm -qil AdobeReader


If it's not installed as AdobeReader it may be installed as "acroread", if so use that instead of AdobeReader in the above commands.

The first command appears to have no effect. The second one produces a long list of info. And the file Smart complains about is not part of that list.

[lholcombe@holcombe2 ~]$ rpm -V acroread

What do you get run you run this command:

Code: Select all

# /usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache -q /usr/share/icons/hicolor


How about this command:

Code: Select all

# update-desktop-database /usr/share/applications


I suspect that last command will produce the error. If it does then what is the output of this:

Code: Select all

# ls -l /usr/share/applications/kde/AdobeReader.desktop

Well, there ya go. You might also be interested to know that /usr/share/applnk/Applications/AdobeReader.desktop doesn't exist (you probably can't see the red highlight in my quote from above, lol).

That's *exactly* what I was expecting. Just remove the broken symbolic link and you should be good:

Code: Select all

# rm /usr/share/applications/kde/AdobeReader.desktop


[worker201]

Done.

Is anybody going to come looking for that? I can't imagine who/what - or why it was even there in the first place.

[Void Main]

I would say no because whatever application that created the symbolic link is obviously no longer installed. I can't track down exactly what package might have created it. It certainly should have been removed though.
