Scribus package does not add launcher to Unity

[To Do]

I just installed Scribus on Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit.

I tried lauching the app by opening Dash, search for scribus but no app was found.

If I launch scribus in a terminal, it does launch.

The package should create a .desktop file like other programs.

I searched my pc for a scribus.desktop file and found it in /usr/share/app-install/desktop/scribus:scribus.desktop.

I copied it to ~/local/share/applications with this command `cp /usr/share/app-install/desktop/scribus:scribus.desktop ~/local/share/applications/scribus.desktop`. I selected the executable tick mark and now Scribus is launching properly.

I submitted this bug 4 years ago and I'm no longer using Scribus.

This bug could be closed in my opinion.

I'm sad to hear so, but please consider that I've used scribus since 4 or more years ago, and I've never had this issue...
I'm closing the bug, but do feel free to report anything else you encounter on using Ubuntu!

Sadly, we have too few people to look and triage all bugs in time.

Don't get me wrong. I didn't stop using Scribus because of this bug and
I do report any bugs I come across.

I simply do not need Scribus for what I do.
