Cheers, Carlo The upgrade of "menu" from 2.1.9-5 to 2.1.10-1 either introduced a bug or triggered a bug in the kde update-menu scripts (I think the latter). Downgrading menu to 2.1.9-5 restored my Debian menus. Hmm, I got the same problem and tried to downdgrade with apt-get install menu=2.1.9-5 but the version 2.1.9-5 could not be found by apt. Where can I get the "old" debs? See bugs #237820 and #237260 for more info. Josh Metzler Thx for help, Hanno
Re: missing Debian menus in KDE 3.2
Thanks, I had seen these and made the changes reommended in #237260. I think that I resoplved the problem by pulling over the missing /usr/bin/kdm-update-menuand /usr/bin/kde-update-menu C.S.
