I am having trouble posting this on bugzilla, so I apologize for spamming this to the maintainers.
My hunch is that this is a problem with the fluxbox packaging, especially since a recent entry in the fluxbox specfile was to add menu entries. Somehow, the menu entries for fluxbox are tripping up menudrake. When running menudrake with fluxbox installed, all of my menus disappear. If I run update-menus as root, I get errors. The line in menudrakeentry with the error is a fluxbox entry. I am running most recent cooker. # update-menus -v Update-menus[4592]: Dpkg not locking dpkg status area. Good.
