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.
Hello Filipus,
It looks like this bug is a duplicate of #305764 which is 2/3 to be solved.
Now update-menus include an option --remove that remove the generated menu
files.
Cheers,
Oh, right, I forgot to mention the relation with 305764, sorry. They're
not duplicates, but implementing #305764 would solve this bug. And it's
probably the best way to solve it too. This report is largely here for
people to notice if they search in non-wishlist reports, and in case
you'd consider this is not [only] a menu bug.
