thank you for your bug report, the parsing warning is a known upstream translation issue, the media type warning have already been listed in a bug by somebody who used a ppa to install kde4 software, did you install anything which is not in the standard ubuntu installation? could you look if any .desktop installed on your system list those?

the gnome-control-center bug is http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=554507, the other warning are not ubuntu bugs and you should report those to whoever is doing the packages you are using

But aren't app-install-data and kdelibs-data both ubuntu packages?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

if the kdelibs-data version you are using is the ubuntu one you should open an another bug against kdelibs, some other bug seemed to indicate the kdelibs having those changes was a ppa one or something and I don't want to sature my dsl download not to get kdelibs and have a look to it

the issue got fixed since

[Termo (termopeten)]

How can it be stated as fixed, when I just got it with the latest kernel upgrade (2.6.32-33.71_i386)??

I was running into the same WARNING message and was able to eliminate it by replacing two files in the directory /usr/share/gconf/schemas. The files, control-center.schemas and gnome-control-center.schemas, were moved to .orig files. The source of the replacement files was this URL:

http://search.4shared.com/q/1/control-center.schemas

After a re-install of update-manager, the WARNING was gone and desktop.en_US.utf8.cache was rebuilt:

 Unpacking replacement update-manager ...

Setting up update-manager (1:0.134.11) ...

After a dpkg-reconfigure gconf2, there was no WARNING message.

It may have happened during an Ubuntu update when gnome-control-center was also updated, since both the files were much larger and quite different from the .orig files. I have compressed the new files and attached them.

Ubuntu Lucid 10.04.3 LTS
