This is not an upstream bug.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-menus - 2.29.92-0ubuntu5

---------------
gnome-menus (2.29.92-0ubuntu5) lucid; urgency=low

  * debian/update-gnome-menus-cache: Fix crash on invalid UTF-8 in
    translations, fall back to untranslated string. (LP: #531412)
  * debian/python-gmenu.postinst, debian/rules: Install
    update-gnome-menus-cache into /usr/share/gnome-menus instead of /usr/bin.
    It's a private implementation detail, not something that users should
    run/see. (LP: #540813)
  * debian/update-gnome-menus-cache: Ignore other exceptions during
    translation as well (such as IndexError), and fall back to untranslated
    string instead of crashing. (LP: #504785)
