Package: xdg-utils
Version: 1.1.0~rc1+git20111210-7
Severity: normal

When installing google-chrome-beta (32.0.1700.19-1) from dl.google.com
post-installation fails and xdg-desktop-menu complains about no writable
system menu directory found.

--- aptitude output ---
Setting up google-chrome-beta (32.0.1700.19-1) ...
xdg-desktop-menu: No writable system menu directory found.
dpkg: error processing google-chrome-beta (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit
 status 3
-----------------------

I had no /usr/share/desktop-directories so I created it and then
installation works fine.

It seems google-chrome-beta does not install anything into
/usr/share/desktop-directories but xdg-desktop-menu needs the directory
to exist anyway.

If xdg-desktop-menu requires that directory to exist to function
properly, shouldn't xdg-utils create that directory when installed?

Cheers,
/Henrik
