Description
avahi-discover.desktop.in currently has "Icon=gnome-nettool". This causes a circular dependency, which should be avoided by using a local copy of the icon under a different filename (or a totally different icon).
The dependency loop is:
- gnome-vfs can be compiled with avahi support, which makes it depend on avahi - gnome-nettool always requires gnome-vfs - avahi-discover.desktop uses an icon from gnome-nettool, therefore it requires gnome-nettool
gnome-vfs requires avahi requires gnome-nettool requires gnome-vfs.
The current situation forces some distributors to do local workarounds, which is ugly (.desktop files that differ from upstream can cause "interesting" problems):
