I tried to install a full KDE 4.2, that's quite a lot of packages and some of them depend on the newer libc - I don't know which ones. Yet, that's not necessary to reproduce the bug. I reverted everything to plain lenny (without any KDE). Then everything was OK again. Then I noticed that menu itself is the same in lenny and unstable and ran ldd on it to find out what might be responsible for the crash. Then I _only_ upgraded libc and locales (like stated above) and that's enough to make update-menus crash. Now that I think about it, update-menus should also crash in plain sid ... if it doesn't some interaction with another library might be responsible. There aren't many possibilities: a...@schaf:~$ ldd /usr/bin/update-menus linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fffdaffe000) libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007f2fd2931000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x00007f2fd26ae000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007f2fd2497000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007f2fd2144000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f2fd2c3d000) a...@schaf:~$ And especially libstdc++ is also in the backtrace. I just tried updating libstdc++* in addition to libc6 and that still makes update-menus crash. So, I'm out of ideas for now. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
