-- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux aias 2.4.16 #3 Tue Nov 27 09:14:26 PST 2001 i686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE= dpkg -S /usr/lib/menu/doc-base-happydoc does not return any package owning this file, so I'm submitting this as general; please reassign as needed. For edification: rich: ~ $ dpkg -S *happy* dpkg: *doc-base-happydoc* not found. rich: ~ $ dpkg -l *happy* No packages found matching doc-base-happydoc. Well, the above I don't understand at all :) Currently, the file on my box contains: ?package(doc-base):needs="dwww" section=""\ title="HappyDoc Source Documentation"\ description="This is the Source documentation for HappyDoc"\ command="/usr/share/doc/python-happydoc-doc/srcdocs/index.html" With this file in place, update-menu complains that 'section' is empty and fails out, leaving the Debian sub-menu in my Gnome menu empty. After examining other python doc packages, I modified as follows: ?package(doc-base):needs="dwww" section="Apps/Programming"\ title="HappyDoc Source Documentation"\ description="This is the Source documentation for HappyDoc"\ command="/usr/share/doc/python-happydoc-doc/srcdocs/index.html" After adding "Apps/Programming" to 'section', update-menus succeeds, and the Debian submenu is populated.
