first line of desktop file is blank, causing rpmlinit to say desktop file is invalid

[Neal Gompa]

rpmlinit, which is a tool to determine if packages are done right, is used in conjunction with mock for building and testing packages on Fedora. It is reporting that the desktop file is invalid. The first line in the oggconvert.desktop file must not be blank, it needs to the [Desktop Entry] thing there.

First line of oggconvert.desktop not blank.

(imho) Bug exsists not in OggConvert, but in Fedora package.

Ahh! Then I don't know what is causing rpmlinit to say it is invalid, I
didn't actually run rpmlinit, but my package sponsor said that might be the
problem. So, now I really don't know.... But I think MAYBE it might be the
deprecated Applications category listed next to AudioVideo.... I think...

Hi Neal,

The first line of the .desktop file definitely isn't blank, so I'm going to go ahead and close this. If you have any other problems with the .desktop though, do go ahead and file a bug.
