Hi!
I am on preliminary stable builds on debian stretch. After the
last update i am getting an r14-xdg-update error 9 on login. It
complains about permissions and tells to look at
r14-xdg-update-validation-test9.txt. There is one line in here
<Filename>kde-kchmviewer.desktop</Filename> No such file exist
anywhere. What i am supposed to do with this?
In $HOME/.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu, there should
be an entry like "<Filename>kde-kchmviewer", which is triggering
that error. Why is there is not possible to say, there has been no
change lately to justify such an error. Cheers

I still don't understand what the entries in
.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu relate to, and why they
cause this problem. Should I just blindly remove all entries that
begin with 'kde-'?
Yes.
(Not the ones that begin with 'tde-kde-',
presumably.) Do they have something to do with the .desktop files
that appear in ~/Desktop/? This thing is a frustrating nuisance
because there's effectively NOTHING beyond a few cryptic entries in
Release Notes and the pop-up messages (which can't be copied, and
don't seem to be saved anywhere. (Why is that?) if there is any
documentation concerning this, I can't find it in the Wiki (beyond
"Upgrading from KDE3 or from TDE 3.5.x to R14.0.x" in "Tips and
Tricks", which seems to be pertinent but says nothing about
recovering from errors), nor in the Documentation section. It seems
to me that there needs to be some real documentation about recovering
from this situation, written by someone who understands in detail
what this stuff is trying to do.
You can find the relevant information in the archive of this ML. It's
been discussed at least two times already.
A page in the wiki would be nice to have. Someone has to write it.
Kind regards, Stefan
