The launcher is a symlink that points to the wrong file

[Cédric M. Campos]

The launcher

'/usr/share/applications/guake.desktop'

points to

'/usr/share/guake/DATA/autostart-guake.desktop'*

while it should point to

'/usr/share/guake/autostart-guake.desktop'

*Capital letters on purpose.

Same bug in Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1006680

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

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

[Krzysztof Hajdamowicz (khajdamowicz)]

Bug is fixed on Debian side.

As for now, Ubuntu Jammy still delivers this bug in guake-3.8.5-1

$ ls /usr/share/applications/guake.desktop -la
lrwxrwxrwx 37 root 24 lut 00:29 /usr/share/applications/guake.desktop -> ../guake/data/autostart-guake.desktop

while it should symlink to /usr/share/guake/autostart-guake.desktop
