--- Begin Message ---Package: menu-xdg Version: 0.2 Severity: normal Hi, on my system, where more than 8000 packages are installed, the symptom of the problem is: # update-menus sh: /bin/rm: Argument list too long This problem is (temporarily) cured when I empty the /var/lib/menu-xdg/applications/menu-xdg/ directory before running update-menus. Here is a quick way to give you an idea of the size of this directory: $ echo /var/lib/menu-xdg/applications/menu-xdg/* | wc 1 1954 155458 The cause of the problem is this line in /etc/menu-methods/xdg-desktop-entry-spec-apps: prerun = "rm -rf " prefix() "/*"; It fails because 155458 bytes is higher than the Linux command line limit (about 131000 bytes), as demonstrated by this: # rm /var/lib/menu-xdg/applications/menu-xdg/* -bash: /bin/rm: Argument list too long I don't know how to fix the menu-method file, but with the shell the following command does work: # cd /var/lib/menu-xdg/applications/menu-xdg/; rm * -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.10-1-686 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) -- no debconf information
