When I try to install certain X-window managers under Debian 3.0 I get
"xxx depends on menu (>> 1.5)... menu is not available" How would I fix
this?

Dunno...menu is available for "sarge" (aka testing) and that
works for me. Sounds like someone wants to backport to Woody.

menu is not available for woody because it's written in a language which
bears a passing resemblance to C++.  someone rewrote it in C++ for sarge.

himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep 
he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain
