Hello Manoj,
I am not sure how this is related to the bug
If the user remove /etc/menu-methods/fvwm this piece of code will fail:
if [ ! -x /etc/menu-methods/fvwm ]; then
chmod a+x /etc/menu-methods/fvwm
fi
Do you agree with that ?
For more detail, Please see menu manual section 5:
In particular
This script should not be executable in the package. Instead the
`postinst' should add the execute bit and then run `update-menus' (if
it is executable).
Similarly, the `postrm' script when called with option ``remove''
should remove the execute bit and run `update-menus' (if it is
executable).
This is to avoid the menu-method to run before the window manager is
configured. This might or might not be an issue for fvwm.
Cheers,
