Package: desktop-file-utils

Version: 0.26-1

Due to lack of support for Desktop file specifications using version 1.5, desktop files are seen as invalid:

$ desktop-file-validate Applications/squashfs-root/org.keepassxc.KeePassXC.desktop
Applications/squashfs-root/org.keepassxc.KeePassXC.desktop: error: value "1.5" for key "Version" in group "Desktop Entry" is not a known version
Applications/squashfs-root/org.keepassxc.KeePassXC.desktop: hint: value item "Security" in key "Categories" in group "Desktop Entry" can be extended with another category among the following categories: Settings, or System
Applications/squashfs-root/org.keepassxc.KeePassXC.desktop: error: file contains key "SingleMainWindow" in group "Desktop Entry", but keys extending the format should start with "X-"


This was fixed in an upstream commit in 2022: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xdg/desktop-file-utils/-/commit/56d220dd679c7c3a8f995a41a27a7d6f3df49dea


It seems this Debian package needs to include the upstream patches
