[Pkg-lxde-maintainers] Bug#851748: libfm-extra4 in debian/testing kills LXDE menus

[Hans]

Hi all, 
here is a workaround, I used for kali-linux.

OK, so, as the code was not changed, as Andriy told, here is a workaround, if 
someone wants to build a kali-live-image with LXDE.

1. Download libfm-extra4-1.2.4-1 for your architecture from http://
http.kali.org/kali

2. Extract the package by using dpkg-deb.

3. Edit debian/control and change the version from 1.2.4-1 to a higher version 
than 1.2.5-1 (I am using 1.2.5-2, as it is close to the prior version).

4. Repack the package again by using dpkg-deb.

5. Copy the new libfm-extra4-1.2.5-2.deb to ~live-build-config/config/packages-
chroot/

6. Now build the new image. After booting it (either from CD, or as in my case 
from an USB-Stick), you see, the menus in LXDE are back!

Yeah!

Maybe Debian wants to use this way to get a running version in its repo. 
Sorry, that I built only for i386, but at the moment I have no amd64-computer 
at hand (sadly my notebook died 3 days ago. Mainboard dead!)

Hope this helps.

Happy hacking

Hans
