A strange story! I just copied your `jed' file to my own /etc/menu, and changed the `?pacakge(jed)' to `?package(local.jed)', and it works OK for me (I don't have jed installed, so I just added the `local.') > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/menu$ ls -l > total 20 > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 397 Jan 22 2000 README > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 127 Jan 25 12:07 aim > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 97 Jan 30 08:12 jed > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 116 Jan 30 07:30 mc > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 103 Jan 30 07:30 xjed That's fine too. > > I tried update-menus -d. > There is too much output to capture Well, you can try update-menus -d 2> file and you can later read file slowly.

There realy should be a line like: Update-menus[1659]: Reading menuentryfile /etc/menu/jed in the `update-menus -d' output. Are you certain even that is missing? Then something strange is going on. Oh, maybe you already told me, but what version of menu are you using? (dpkg -l menu) Thanks, joostje
