Andy, as far as I remember, try this : reboot the system, and when the spash-screen pops up, press <Esc>. Now you have a text-only screen. Type "linux single" (without the quotes, of course). This will boot you into a very minimalistic system as root. Be careful here. Now, issue the command : "update-menus -v". You'll see the progress scroll by. When finished, type : "shutdown -r now". That worked for me. A peculiar thing is that the man-page for "update-menus" refers to a Debian-system. Maybe that's why you'll have to use the "single" parameter ? Who knows ?
