Package: menu
Version: 2.1.36
Severity: serious
Many fluxbox users complain that after its first installation its menu
doesn't work. And they can solve this problem only by calling
update-menus command by hand.
I inserted set -x option into postinst-script in order to make sure if
update-menus were really called and I became sure in it.
Then I wrote a test script that allowed to reproduce the bug. The result
is below (reproducible with packages fluxbox and twm ...).
Only the call of update-menus some time (3-5 sec) after the instalation
produces the needed result.
I can't explain this phenomenon so I write this bug-report.
PS: I set severity level into serious to this bug because I can't
provide the correct functioning of the other package (fluxbox, twm, etc).
PPS: You can find all the maintainer-scripts in packages fluxbox,
twm...
