I was missing kde-essential.menu in a current Gutsy ubuntu with kubuntu- desktop installed. I tried reinstalling kdebase-data which did not give me the file. I then did Luke's recommended:
sudo dpkg-deb -x /var/cache/apt/archives/kdebase- data_4%3a3.5.8-0ubuntu2.2_all.deb / That gives me the file although it did not remove the symlink, applications-merged to kde-applications-merged. KControl now works. -- KControl and KInfoCenter are empty after Gutsy upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/152325 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
