Here are the steps to fix it. 1) Grab kdelibs-data_3.3.2-6.1_all.deb or silimar 3.3 version from a mirror (look under pool) or your apt-cache (/var/cache/apt/archives IIRC). 2) Install with dpkg -i kdelibs-data_3.3.2-6.1_all.deb 3) Log out and back in (you may need to restart (k|g)dm but I didn't). 4) Enjoy menus again. Put the lib in hold or be careful when upgrading. If you join the debian-kde mailing list they have promised to post a message when kde 3.4 is ready. The bug report is http://bugs.debian.org/323747 if you are interested. Graham -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If I am not mistaken, this is a known problem. Check debian-kde, for example here: http://lists.debian.org/debian-kde/2005/08/msg00177.html Michelasso [EMAIL PROTECTED] schrieb am 21.08.05 12:37:12: Hello everybody, after last upgrade of sid (I am using only official repositories, I have decided to wait for kde 3.4 to come into unstable) my kde 3.3 has a problem: the applications list in the 'K' menu is empty, even if all applications are still here, and I can launch them form a shell.

Re: Last dist-upgrade of sid breaks a little kde
Hi, welcome to Unstable. Best you can do is to downgrade kde to whatever is here (I believe this is for sarge) : deb http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/kde-3.4.1/ ./ note: you will need to downgrade some other packages as wel back to Sarge. Jack for one I know about, probably others too. Don't dist-upgrade kde to sid for the next few days/weeks until kde is deemed safe again, or beter yet, only use testing, and wait until kde appears there. Is anybody experiencing the same problem? yea, lots of peoples, just read around. Most of them on debian-qt-kde though. Any suggestions? PEOPLE : DONT USE UNSTABLE (SID) UNLESS YOU KEEP UP TO DATE WITH WHAT IS HAPPENNING AND KNOW HOW TO HANDLE THESE ERRORS ! Unstable is called exactly that because, ... wel, ... it is.
