When I try to upgrade VLC, I get the following error:
Code:
make[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/portage/media-video/vlc-2.0.7/work/vlc-2.0.7/share'
sed -e 's,\@bindir\@,/usr/bin,g' < "vlc.desktop.in" > tmp-vlc.desktop
desktop-file-validate tmp-vlc.desktop
tmp-vlc.desktop: error: required key "Encoding" not found
tmp-vlc.desktop: warning: file contains key "Keywords", this key is currently reserved for use within KDE, and should in the future KDE releases be prefixed by "X-"
make[2]: *** [vlc.desktop] Error 1
Is anyone else seeing this? A search turned up nothing. Thanks.

This is only a warning. Do you have the build log :?:

Doesn't look that way to me.

For the "encoding" error :
Code:

$ grep "Encoding" -l /usr/share/applications/*.desktop
/usr/share/applications/gxmame.desktop
/usr/share/applications/mount-archive.desktop

So some files have it but very few. So why do the others not invalidate?

Code:

$ ebuild /usr/portage/media-video/vlc/vlc-2.0.7.ebuild unpack
$ sed -e 's,\@bindir\@,/usr/bin,g' < "/var/tmp/portage/media-video/vlc-2.0.7/work/vlc-2.0.7/share/vlc.desktop.in" > /var/tmp/portage/media-video/vlc-2.0.7/work/vlc-2.0.7/share/tmp-vlc.desktop
$ desktop-file-validate --warn-kde /var/tmp/portage/media-video/vlc-2.0.7/work/vlc-2.0.7/share/tmp-vlc.desktop


Doesn't give me that/any output.

For the keywords warning:
Code:

$ cat /var/tmp/portage/media-video/vlc-2.0.7/work/vlc-2.0.7/share/tmp-vlc.desktop | grep "Keywords"
Keywords=Player;Capture;DVD;Audio;Video;Server;Broadcast;


So it is in there but doesn't invalidate...
I don't know if it maybe would be buried in the KDE profile which i don't run.

There seems to be something odd here - IIRC, "Encoding" key has been obsoleted awhile ago.
Which version of dev-util/desktop-file-utils is installed ?
Are you sure desktop-file-validate run comes from that version ?

Thanks!! Upgrading dev-util/desktop-file-utils fixed the problem.
