Package: menu
Version: 2.1.43
Severity: normal
When menu is removed, it leaves generated menu files behind. These files
then stop being maintained. Consequently, if a package providing a menu
item when menu was last installed is removed after menu is removed, the
generated menu item remains in the menu hierarchy. At least in KDE, this
means the menu item keeps being displayed in the Debian menu (when
menu-xdg is installed). For example, if smb4k, menu-xdg and menu are all
installed, if menu is removed then smb4k is removed, the menu item
"SAMBA for KDE" remains in the Debian menu. If a user tries to launch
smb4k, it obviously fails, without any feedback.
I don't know menu stuff enough to assert that this is a menu bug. This
might be considered a bug in the interaction between KDE and menu.
menu-xdg currently recommends menu.
