#1265002 — Bug#1117491: alacarte: does not show contents of submenus

Package: alacarte
Version: 3.58.0-1
Severity: normal

Recently alacarte stopped showing contents of submenus.  For example, if I click on the Graphics submenu on the left pane, the right pane is empty.  Same for all submenus

I suspect this might be another effect of <https://bugs.debian.org/1117444>.

#1265009

I should add that alacarte, mozo and menulibre all give the same error, so maybe it's a problem with some underlying python library.

Running update-menus as root apparently changes nothing, same reinstalling menu-xdg and alacarte.

Here is the output from alacarte:

~$ alacarte

<<< the previous errors are shown as soon as the app starts.

<<< the following errors appear when slicking on a submenu:

Yes, that sounds like #1117444: reassigning.
