Package: menu-xdg Version: 0.2.3 Followup-For: Bug #439427
A previous run created incorrect files in /var/lib/menu-xdg instead of the directory (see attached archive). This leads to this error while running dpkg-reconfigure menu or menu-xdg. Execution of /usr/share/menu/cdd-menu generated no output or returned an error. Unknown error, message=Could not create directory(menu-xdg): File exists install-menu: /etc/menu-methods/xdg-desktop-entry-spec-dirs: aborting update-menus[7314]: Script /etc/menu-methods/xdg-desktop-entry-spec-dirs returned error status 1. Unknown error, message=Could not create directory(menu-xdg): File exists install-menu: /etc/menu-methods/xdg-desktop-entry-spec-apps: aborting update-menus[7314]: Script /etc/menu-methods/xdg-desktop-entry-spec-apps returned error status 1. Unknown error, message=Could not create directory(xsessions/): File exists install-menu: /etc/menu-methods/xdg-desktop-entry-spec-sessions: aborting update-menus[7314]: Script /etc/menu-methods/xdg-desktop-entry-spec-sessions returned error status 1. This produces unusable debian menus . It looks like http://www.yepthatsme.com/2005/10/12/if-your-debian-menu-in-gnome-ever-disappears/ . I fixed it via rm -Rf /var/lib/menu-xdg/* plus dpkg-reconfigure menu-xdg. I wonder if it is a problem that can be fixed in the package or menu-method (by checking if those are files instead of directories and deleting them if so).
