fyi: error during aptitude upgrade fix

[Ken Moffat]

FYI:
  I was receiving the following error during "aptitude upgrade" on 
debian 3.0 :


** (process:17207): CRITICAL **: file eggdesktopentries.c: line 2223 
(egg_desktop_entries_add_group): assertion 
`egg_desktop_entries_lookup_group (entries, group_name) == NULL' failed

** (process:17207): CRITICAL **: file eggdesktopentries.c: line 2223 
(egg_desktop_entries_add_group): assertion 
`egg_desktop_entries_lookup_group (entries, group_name) == NULL' failed

** (process:17207): CRITICAL **: file eggdesktopentries.c: line 2223 
(egg_desktop_entries_add_group): assertion 
`egg_desktop_entries_lookup_group (entries, group_name) == NULL' failed


The cure was to edit the
/usr/share/applications/mplayer.desktop
file, eliminating the double entries, or in my case, the 4 times 
repeated entries. This is on a debian 3.0 install with

#mplayer deb source
deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat unstable main

and mplayer installed.

(at least this seems to have cured the problem. :-) )
