Bug Description

Binary package hint: cmake

After installing cmake, I found a shortcut in Applications > Programming > CMake.

I tried to run the program, but Nautilus returns:

"Could not launch menu item
Failed to execute child process "cmake-gui" (No such file or directory)"

I never installed cmake-gui, so why is there a menu item for it?

Confirming. It's because cmake and cmake-gui are in the same source package and the icon was misplaced
Package version: 2.6.0-4ubuntu1~hardy1 (the one in hardy-backports)

Removed [hardy] from title. This effects both the package in hardy-backports and in intrepid.

Alexander: when you move files between packages, you need to set a Replaces field or dpkg may return an error on upgrades. For example, if a file moves from package foo to package bar and version 1.0-0ubuntu2 is the first version of package foo *not* to contain the file, then package bar should have "Replaces: foo (<< 1.0-0ubuntu2)". See the policy manual for more details.

Could you please update your patch with this change?
