Description Benjamin Takacs 2025-11-14 16:14:11 UTC 
for example when using portlint on x11/autorandr it says:

FATAL: PLIST_FILES: this port installs .desktop files. please add `desktop-file-utils` to USES.

while desktop-file-utils should only be added if the .desktop file contains a MimeType entry. As portlint doesn't check the .desktop file, that should be at most a warning.
