Comment 6 for bug 1019709

I dont think it solves the problem. When you try and install the deb of the MIT-scratch package, it still gives you error. I have reported the bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/scratch/+bug/1022107), but here is the command line output again.
(After doing sudo apt-get -y remove scratch && sudo apt-get -y install scratch-text-editor)

pranav@pranav-xps:~$ sudo apt-get -y remove scratch && sudo apt-get -y install scratch-text-editor

scratch-text-editor is already the newest version.

And during the install of the MITs package:

pranav@pranav-xps:~$ sudo dpkg -i /home/pranav/Downloads/scratch_1.4.0.1-0ubuntu5_i386.deb

Will deleting the scratch.desktop file solve this problem??
