The installation procedure uses the hard-coded /home/user/Desktop path, which does not exist on systems set up with the fr_FR locale (and likely others), as it is set up with /home/user/Bureau instead.
Steps to Reproduce
Install Qubes with fr_FR locale
Install SDW following usual process
Expected Behavior
Installation completes successfully.
Actual Behavior
Installation fails when installing SecureDropUpdater.desktop, as the expected parent directory does not exist.
Comments
The correct value per-locale can be found via xdg-user-dir DESKTOP - so we should probably use that. In the meantime, @cfm recommended a symlink workaround, which does allow the installation to proceed with minimal cultural insensitivity.
