Package: menu
Version: 2.1.41
Severity: important
It seems that the "update-menus --trigger" that is run when a package
containing menu entries is installed does not work right. Today I lost
several entries for OpenOffice.org packages and had to run update-menus
by hand to restore them.
To get more information, I modified menu's postinst:

Note that
- apt generally installs packages by running "dpkg --unpack <packages>"
followed by "dpkg --configure <packages>" and the file trigger is
processed after the unpacking phase.
- openoffice.org-writer 1:3.0.1-4+b1 was apparently built with debhelper
7.2.3, where dh_installmenus no longer produces a call to update-menus
in the generated postinst.
This is similar to #489040, but with reversed results: installing the
package with apt does not produce a menu entry, but installing with dpkg
directly does.

debhelper - helper programs for debian/rules

Changes:
debhelper (7.2.5) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Set MODULEBUILDRC=/dev/null when running perl Build scripts
to avoid ~/.modulebuildrc influencing the build. Closes: #517423
* dh_installmenus: Revert removal of update-menus calls. Closes: #518919
Menu refuses to add unconfigured packages to the menu, and thus
omits packages when triggered, unfortunatly. I hope its behavior will
change.
