Sponsors, release deciders:
Impact
--------
On a base Karmic or Lucid system both of the Backintime front-ends have an undeclared dependency, which results in them failing to launch as root from the menu system.
TEST CASE:
----
Install a base system and either of the BiT front-ends. Ensure the 'menu' package is not installed if it has been pulled in by another dependency. From the menu, choose to run BiT as root and no window appears.
Fix:
-----
The patch listed from git in an above post adds a dependency on menu for both front-end packages. Sponsorship is required because I am not a Ubuntu developer.
Regression potential is very low. This fix has been thoroughly tested in Debian and has some, but less, testing in Ubuntu.
