Good thing (to upgrade to menu-1.5). I'd like to urge more users of
stable with problems with menu files (or the _very_ cryptic error
messages of menu-1.3) to upgrade to menu-1.5-4. I've put a
libc5 version of menu_1.5_4 at:

  ftp://rulcmc.leidenuniv.nl/debian/upload/libc5

This has several improvements, seems rather/very stable, and, most of
all, has a _lot_ better error messages:

Just compare that to `Unknown identifier "" in script'.

So, please, everybody, upgrade to menu_1.5_4. (If it is at all possible,
I'd like to get it included in the next stable-fixes. If there are
more people like you who test it, I may have more chance of getting
it in stable).

Thanks,
