Package: kdebase Severity: normal Followup-For: Bug #247407 I have a similar problem than the one reported by the original submitter. I never had my KDE menu empty, but there is an explanation for that: I was not logged in an X session when I upgraded from KDE 3.1 to KDE 3.2, so if the proposed "cure" for the dissapearing menu entries is correct, I could have never seen my KDE menu empty, for as I soon as I logged in the otherwise missing entries should have been restored...
The bug I found occurs at installing o removing a non-KDE package providing a menu entry. The entry is neither added (when installing a package) nor removed (when removing a package) from the KDE menu... which is no surprise as there is no method in /etc/menu-methods handling the insertion or removal of menu entries for KDE. KDE programs are apparently managed in a different way, as they do add and remove themselves from the KDE menu. A search in http://packages.debian.org/ for packages providing some file in /etc/menu/methods shows forty-something results, none of which is related to KDE, both for the testing and unstable distributions. Therefore I think my problem and the one the original submitter reported are caused by the lack of a KDE menu method for update-menus to use. -- Groucho -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.5-1-k7 Locale: LANG=es_AR, LC_CTYPE=es_AR
