I will see if I can figure out something longer to silence the lintian warning. It's not really supposed to ring bells since no one should be installing the library directly. It's a library that is only used by gnome-games-app and maintained by the same developer. The description I used is basically what I was given: https://git.gnome.org/browse/retro-gtk/tree/retro-gtk.doap It's a bit confusing because libretro is the name of a bigger and older project to make game emulators and developer platforms. libretro-gtk is this library that is basically a separate library that I guess connects libretro with an app like gnome-games-app. There are a lot of libretro cores packaged in Debian already but they need a little integration work to be usable by gnome-games-app. https://www.libretro.com/ > I have successfully installed gnome-games-app but no games show up.

Have you disabled tracker? For instance, I have the gnome-games metapackage installed so I have 17 games that show up in gnome-games-app. Jeremy
