Hello Joshua,
update-menus use the dpkg-query command which is the documented way to
query the dpkg status file. The exact command used is:
dpkg-query --show --showformat='${status} ${package}\n' | sed -n -e
's/.*installed *//p'
I don't know how menu can tell the status file is broken.
Could you provide me with your slightly broken index file ?
