update-menus on debian unstable broken ??
debian/unstable
menu 2.1.12
kdelibs-bin 4:3.2.2-2
kde 4:3.1.1
I did a apt-get dist upgrade on Friday
since then the update-menus command seems to be failing
I use my own menus in ~/.menu
THey have been updating happily for about 7 months
Now I add another entry to the menus run update-menus -v
and update-menus -d
THey both show the new entry being added but it never appears in the menus
same if I remove an entry. nothing happens. THere is no error from
update-menus and nothing changes
can anyone suggest some more tests I can do
