Oh, ugh. How did this get missed? Obviously no-one upgrades with miro installed!

miro.desktop was shipped in miro-data for Hardy but is now in the main miro package for Intrepid. We should probably check (a) why this changed, and (b) what Debian's doing here. And then do a Miro SRU.

This bug was fixed in the package miro - 1.2.8-1ubuntu1

---------------
miro (1.2.8-1ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low

  [ Joseph M Smith ]
  * Merge from debian unstable (LP: #294459), remaining changes:
      - Depend on python-gnome2-extras rather than python-gtkmozembed
      - debian/patches/81_inhibit_gnome_screensaver
        - Inhibit GNOME Screensaver when playing fullscreen video. (LP: #207794)
          Patch based on patch from upstream trac:
          http://bugzilla.pculture.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3067
  * debian/control
    - Add Conflicts with miro-data < 1.2.6 (LP: #296175)

  [ Christopher James Halse Rogers ]
  * Additional Ubuntu change remaining:
    + debian/control:
      - Remove unnecessary democracyplayer-data transitional package.

miro (1.2.8-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release (Closes: #496874).
     + Youtube video downloads should work again, see upstream bug
       http://bugzilla.pculture.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10656.
     + Closing unreproducible (with the latest release) bugs:
        + MIRO NOT WORKING (Closes: #502194).
          Both the feed mentioned and video search is working fine.
        + NBC News podcast corrupted if download is resumed (Closes: #496233).
          Works fine with both, Miro 1.2.8, and mplayer. Must have been some
          oddness with the feed itself.
        + miro (version 1.2.3-2) segmentation fault (Closes: #489891).
          No longer occuring according to the BTS, never reproducible by me.
        + miro: If the XVideo extension is missing, video has wrong colors and
          extremly low framerate (Closes: #459069, #473310).
          This problem goes away if you use 'miro --xine-driver=xhsm' and will
          not be relevant soon anymore, as Miro switches to gstreamer
          upstream with the next major release. Added a note to README.Debian.
        + [miro] Crash on startup (Closes: #500061).
          Unreproducible by me, reporter says the problem was not Miro-related.
  * debian/miro.lintian-overrides: Added file. Silence lintian warning about
    an embedded version of 'feedparser'. We cannot use the Debian package
    of 'feedparser' as Miro uses a highly modified version of it.
  * debian/rules: Remove more files in the 'clean' target.

I get this error with current Jaunty 9.04 and Miro 2.0.1

Commit failed.
To continue, hit ok and we will try to recover. If you close the application now, we will not do anything and you may try to resolve the problem manually.
(If you suspect this is a bug in Adept, please also provide the following exception description in the report).

The error was:
APT Error. Context:
    Running dpkg,
    [ /usr/bin/dpkg, --status-fd, 3, --unpack, /var/cache/apt/archives/miro_2.0.1-1_amd64.deb ],

    Error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/miro_2.0.1-1_amd64.deb : Versuche, »/usr/share/applications/miro.desktop« zu überschreiben, welches auch in Paket miro-data ist.

At first i used the Miro repository, but it also happend, after i removed the 3rd party repository

That is probably due to your use of the unofficial repository, I'm afraid. We have the correct conflicts statement with respect to our packaging. If anyone who has only used Ubuntu versions experiences this problem then please reopen.
