apt-get reports an error with size-missmatch. I don't know why. The packages page says: Size: 17584 bytes MD5sum: 445952e9c66fb1d84280b902aab8f11e but the package is 17586 bytes size. And some more observations: -the maecount.desktop file contains windows linebreaks :-) -the the "Exec" entry names only "maecount" but not the path -and your executable isn't named maecount but MaeCount hope this helps.
