--- Begin Message ---Package: firefox Version: 59.0.2-1 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? I clicked on the root menu of TWM and tried to find an entry to launch Firefox in "Debian/Applications/Network/Web Browsing" * What was the outcome of this action? I couldn't see a menu entry to launch Firefox. * What outcome did you expect instead? A menu entry to click and launch Firefox. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To quote from www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/menu.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chapter 4 - What packages with applications should do 4.1 Providing a menu file A package should provide a menu file /usr/share/menu/<package-name> that contains information about each program it likes to make available in the menus. 4.2 Adding a hook for dpkg in your packages The postinst script and the postrm script of the package should include the line if test -x /usr/bin/update-menus; then update-menus; fi If you are using debhelper, the program dh_installmenu can do it for you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thank you in advance gb -- Package-specific info: -- Addons package information -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.14.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages firefox depends on: ii debianutils 4.8.4 ii fontconfig 2.12.6-0.1 ii libatk1.0-0 2.28.1-1 ii libc6 2.27-2 ii libcairo-gobject2 1.15.10-2 ii libcairo2 1.15.10-2 ii libdbus-1-3 1.12.6-2 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.110-2 ii libevent-2.1-6 2.1.8-stable-4 ii libffi6 3.2.1-8 ii libfontconfig1 2.12.6-0.1 ii libfreetype6 2.8.1-2 ii libgcc1 1:8-20180312-2 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.36.11-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.54.3-2 ii libgtk-3-0 3.22.29-1 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.32-1 ii libhunspell-1.6-0 1.6.2-1 ii libjsoncpp1 1.7.4-3 ii libnspr4 2:4.18-1 ii libnss3 2:3.35-2 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.40.14-1 ii libsqlite3-0 3.22.0-1 ii libstartup-notification0 0.12-5 ii libstdc++6 8-20180312-2 ii libvpx5 1.7.0-3 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.4-3 ii libx11-xcb1 2:1.6.4-3 ii libxcb-shm0 1.13-1 ii libxcb1 1.13-1 ii libxcomposite1 1:0.4.4-2 ii libxdamage1 1:1.1.4-3 ii libxext6 2:1.3.3-1+b2 ii libxfixes3 1:5.0.3-1 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.10-1 ii libxt6 1:1.1.5-1 ii procps 2:3.3.12-4 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-5 firefox recommends no packages.

--- Begin Message ---The menu item was removed after bug #741573. The Debian policy has deprecated them, and you're the first person to report this after 2 years. You may want to look into things like xdg-menu-convert, or other options if they exist (I don't know).
