This bug is still biting me -- after a recent update, to kdebase-data 4:3.5.8-0ubuntu2.1l from gutsy-updates, this occurred again. I discovered that /etc/xdg/menus/application-merged was a symlink to /etc/xdg/menus/kde-applications-merged/applications-merged . After removing this symlink, I still have the problem that 'aptitude reinstall' simply does not restore kde-essential.menu, but I found that this command line works:
sudo dpkg-deb -x /var/cache/apt/archives/kdebase- data_4%3a3.5.8-0ubuntu2.1_all.deb / It may be that the problem will not recur after this, seeing as the symlink has been removed. -- KControl and KInfoCenter are empty after Gutsy upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/152325 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a bug contact for kdebase in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
