Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-menus
After installing Lucid 10.04-alpha on 2010-03-17 (from a preseeded PXE install), the /usr/share/
Running the (undocumented) update-
- the documentation for various packages doesn't tell about update-
- update-
- For example, trying to add a new screensaver-type by hand does not work when you put a .desktop file in /usr/share/
- a cache file should not reside in /usr/share/
- *if* you cache files, you should make sure the cached file will be rebuilt.
In this case, a wrong desktop.$i18n.cache file will get all menus wrong, and there seems nothing you can do about it.

Thank you for your bug report, the cache update uses a trigger which means it will be updated when any package install a desktop entry in the directory, local changes are supposed to be made in the local directory and not in the distribution one
