The same with package version 5.5.6-0ubuntu2.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I report another pair warnings:

Hello,
Me too.

These issues can also affect other applications. Using file-roller with unidentified contents starts a search for a matching content-reader online, which then leads to a failure dialog reporting:

ParsingError in file '/usr/share/app-install/desktop/workrave:workrave.desktop', invalid line: - RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury)

The file is obviously incorrect since it has wrapped lines for "Comment":
