reassign 368814 menu retitle 368814 update-menus crashes quit Dear Peter, dear maintainers of the menu package,
I have reassigned this bug to menu as update-menus is crashing. I am not a master in menus, but I would install the menu packages again, and call update-menus as root. If it breaks call it with -d and -v to get debugging output and see where it breaks. It seems that one of the menu files is corrupted.
