Bug#237260: kdelibs-bin: I see the same behavior
Package: kdelibs-bin
Version: 4:3.2.1-1
Severity: normal
Followup-For: Bug #237260
Hello Chris,
I see the same bug as the original reporter. It actually impacts both
freedesktop-desktop-entry-spec-apps and freedesktop-desktop-entry-spec-dirs.
^^^^ ^^^^
I am using:
$ dpkg -l menu | grep ^ii
ii menu 2.1.10-1 Provides update-menus functions for some app
When I run update-menus I get the following:
# update-menus -v
update-menus[3280]: Dpkg is not locking dpkg status area, good.
update-menus[3280]: Reading installed packages list...
update-menus[3280]: Reading menu-entry files in /etc/menu/.

Unknown error, message=replacewith($string, $replace, $with): $replace and $with must have the same length.

update-menus[3280]: Script /etc/menu-methods/freedesktop-desktop-entry-spec-apps returned error status 1.
So, it seems the OR was correct about the need to match the length of
the strings being replaced with the replacement text.
Hope this helps!

PS - IMHO, this should be at least severity: important
