Title:
XDG menus do not update after a program installs
Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
Binary package hint: main-menu
I noticed a strange issue when updating an application manually by uninstalling it and then reinstalling it.
The entry in the menu (unmodified and located in the /etc directory, as opposed to modified overlays which end up in the home directory) which was present beforehand, had become deselected and I had to click it several times in the menu editor to get it to show up. This is some kind of bug either in the menu, or the XDG subsystem. The package in question was the upgrade for VirtualBox from 2.1 to 2.2 which required uninstalling 2.1 beforehand.
The way I would code this is to manually stat the following for modifications each time the menu is opened:
/etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu
/etc/xdg/menus/settings.menu
~/.config/menus/applications.menu
~/.config/menus/settings.menu
Please take this bug seriously and don't mark it as invalid for
whatever reason. This is a usability issue which doesn't affect me as
a technical user, but could really throw a curb-ball to a newbie, so
don't be douchebags.
