I wonder if it is a problem that can be fixed in the package or menu-method (by checking if those are files instead of directories and deleting them if so). This is possible to do, but I would be very much interested to know how /var/lib/menu-xdg/xsessions ended being a file instead of a directory. I checked carefully and update-menus cannot do that. Especially the content of /var/lib/menu-xdg/xsessions is strange. What filesystem are you using ? Cheers, THe filesystem is ext3. I don't think we ought to manage this error case. It is only I think I found out what caused the debian menu to dissappear (though I cannot explain it). I hope this could help resolve the bug that s all. Best regards, Alban
