Some utilities to make dealing with .desktop files easier:
  * `update-desktop-database` -- build cache database of MIME types handled by
    desktop files
  * `desktop-file-validate` -- validate desktop entry files according to the
    Desktop Entry specification 1.1. For information about this specification,
    see: http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/desktop-entry-spec
  * `desktop-file-install` -- install a desktop file
  * `desktop-file-edit` -- edit a desktop file

This package contains `update-desktop-database` only, other utilities you can
find in the desktop-file-utils-extra package.
