While testing the install disks v2.0.6, menu failed to install
due to unsatisfied dependencies. (This is the subject of another
message).
Since menu was not configured, man-db, psmisc, bc, and dc could not
be configured because the postinst called update-menu, resulting in
the following error message:
: update-menus: error in loading shared libraries
: libstdc++.so.2.7.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
: directory
None of these packages declare a dependency on menu. I believe
that policy should require that a package must declare a dependency on
any non-required utility used by the maintainer scripts, or the
scripts should be designed not to fail if such a utility is not
available.
Should a bug be filed against these four packages? I am sure
there are many other packages that use update-menu in their postinsts
and do not declare a dependency on menu.
