Package: wmaker
Version: 0.91.0-7.2
Severity: normal

Hi,

At some point before sarge, the file /etc/X11/WindowMaker/wmmacros
stopped being shipped in the wmaker package.  Unfortunately, the
currently shipped menu methods file /etc/menu-methods/wmaker still refers
to it (line 28, the "preoutput" definition).  As a result, when
update-menus is run, a file /etc/X11/WindowMaker/menu.hook is created
that tries to #include "wmmacros" -- this will work on Sarge
installations that were upgraded from Woody (as the wmmacros file will
still exist), but fails on new Sarge installations.

This bug does not just cause theoretical difficulties -- it breaks the menu
conversion routine in WMakerConf, leading to bug #315960.  I'm not too
thrilled that this problem is irretrievably present in Sarge...
