should not propose to remove appmenu when migrating from Lucid to precise

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Could you please add the log files from '/var/log/dist-upgrade/' to this bug report as separate attachments? Thanks in advance.

Here are the log files present in /var/log/dist-upgrade

I notice there is a repertory which correspond to the date and hour the
upgrade were started, do you want the content of this repertory too ?

That is precisely what happended to my computer. I reinstalled appmenu-* but still global menu is not working. I use unity2d. Any ideas on how to re-enable it?

TIA

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

ingasi: if I recall correctly, after I installed also indicator-appmenu, not only appmenu-*, things worked as usual.

After upgrading to Lucid I also got the same issue: no indicator-appmenu was installed.

Timo: Thanks so much. It worked!!

Its a bit confusing, its listed as a unused dependency:

2012-03-26 19:01:09,206 DEBUG Unused dependencies: appmenu-gtk

And that happens because:
Investigating (0) indicator-appmenu [ i386 ] < none -> 0.3.95-0ubuntu2 > ( gnome )
Broken indicator-appmenu:i386 Conflicts on libdbusmenu-glib1 [ i386 ] < 0.2.9-0ubuntu3.1 > ( libs ) (< 0.3.7)
  Considering libdbusmenu-glib1:i386 9 as a solution to indicator-appmenu:i386 3
  Holding Back indicator-appmenu:i386 rather than change libdbusmenu-glib1:i386

And that seems to be the conflict on the no-longer existing libdbusmenu-glib1. But libdbusmenu-glib1 has a higher
score (9) probably because a bunch of the installed stuff depends on it so apt feels like it should not remove it.
