Problem installing on Kubuntu 9.04
I added the repositories and installed mscore and dependencies but got an error. MuseScore ran fine but hangs when exiting. When I try to uninstall mscore I get:
daghenning@Toast:~$ sudo apt-get purge mscore

which is the error I got when installing.
What can be wrong?

Hi Dag Henning!
I just got this error myself, after trying to install mscore to a new kubuntu 9.04 box.
If there is a missing dependency in the .deb it should be corrected, but i don't know enough about the packaging to say if this is the case.
The way I got rid of the error was by installing desktop-file-utils.
sudo apt-get install desktop-file-utils
Then the mscore installation was completed.
(this is on Kubuntu 9.04 amd64)
