Inappropriately appears in Ubuntu Software Center's "Graphics" > "3D" section

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

Binary package hint: torcs

torcs 1.3.1-2, Ubuntu Lucid

1. In Ubuntu Software Center 1.1.16 or later, navigate to "Graphics" > "3D".

What you see: TORCS is in the list.
What you should see: TORCS is not in the list.

To fix the bug: Remove the "3DGraphics" category from the game's .desktop file.

TORCS happens to have 3-D graphics, but 3-D graphics are not what it's *for*.

Okay I have uploaded a debdiff to Debian, hopefully they can upload it and then we can sync before UI freeze.

If that doesn't happen, attached is a debdiff for Ubuntu that fixes the issue.

This bug was fixed in the package torcs - 1.3.1-3ubuntu1

torcs (1.3.1-3ubuntu1) maverick; urgency=low

  * debian/torcs.desktop
    - Removed '3DGraphics' category, it has 3D Graphics, but it is
      not what the package is for (Closes #588215) (LP: #532066)
