What do you get with 'ls' on /usr/bin/update-menus? I have -rwxr-xr-x root root I usually run 'apt-get install --fix-broken' which sometimes helps. I think that is the same as 'apt-get install -f' but not sure it is the same as running it with 'upgrade.' Maybe 'apt-get install menu' would help. menu may be messed up and update-menus is part of that package. Anita Anita -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
