** Description changed:

  I'm using Ubuntu 15.04.
  
  apt-cache policy alacarte returns:
  
  alacarte:
    Installed: 3.11.91-2
    Candidate: 3.11.91-2
    Version table:
   *** 3.11.91-2 0
          500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid/universe amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
  
  Last night I was removing some applications I wasn't using, via
  Synaptic.  I don't remember which applications I removed exactly, but as
  soon as I did, alacarte suddenly broke.  When I try to run it on the
  command line, I get this error:
  
  jesse@jtg-ubuntu:~$ alacarte

  Also, clicking the "Applications" menu will not display my list of
  applications.  Nothing shows up.  However, clicking "Places" right next
  to it works perfectly fine.
  
  I'm using GNOME Flashback (or was it GNOME Classic?  Forgot the exact
  name), dunno what version.  I have been using it for months without any
  ill effect.

+ Said workaround consisted of removing .config/menus/gnome-flashback-
+ applications.menu (or backing it up, I guess).
