This is a bit confusing. I am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, which is supposed to be supported until the middle of 2017 and is not updated with a new LTS until the middle of 2014, yet, according to Hans (Comment #5), an update for this problem won't be provided until the user's system is updated to one after 12.10? I know Hans said that a backport can be requested but there doesn't seem to be clear instructions: "Backports are requested by filing a bug against the appropriate backports project, as listed here" but when I click on the link this bug is not listed. In addition, I don't have a "ubuntu-dev-tools" in the Package manager. Plus, I want to get an update as Ubuntu states; I don't really want to be a tester ("As backports require testing before they can be approved, the backports team recommends that requesters of backports also test them when possible.").
Is there really any way to obtain this fix for v. 12.04? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to alacarte in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/716324 Title: When clicking "new separator", alacarte crashed with ValueError in __positionItem(): ('Separator',) is not in list Status in Alacarte Menu Editor: Fix Released Status in “alacarte” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: alacarte while editing the main menu could not add separators or new folders.
