That version is no more supported; and backport is not expected as its
not a 'security' problem

Title:
  xdg-desktop-menu says "No writable system menu directory found" on
  installation

Status in xdg-utils package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  When installing the IBM tsm backup client I had the following message
  on lucid (works on precise)

  > sudo apt-get upgrade
  Setting up tsm-client (6.4.0.7-3) ...
  xdg-desktop-menu: No writable system menu directory found.
  dpkg: error processing tsm-client (--configure):
   subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 3
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   tsm-client
  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

  This seems to be a bug in xdg rather than IBM tsm-client:

  I found I could get round it by doing
  sudo mkdir /usr/share/desktop-directories/
