Hello,
Thanks. I did not know about the "menu" package. I just
upgraded it, and it appears to have fixed the problem. I had
1.5-17 and now have 2.1.4-2 , so you were correct. After apt-get
finished, I saw no errors like before.
I had commented out that line (12) yesterday, and it got another
error further on.
I am really amazed that this is the only glitch I have found after
installing some october gnome and enlightenment from the ~vincent
directory at debian.org...

This directive is recognised by version 2.0 or greater of the 'menu'
package, but it looks like you have an older version installed.
You can put up with it (in which case, Enlightenment's "debian"
menus may not work), upgrade the menu package, or comment out
this line in /etc/menu-methods/enlightenment (in which case,
you may get two "debian" menus if you run update-menus as a
regular user).
