Please do not flag out of date unless the package is behind the upstream version. If you're having trouble launching menulibre due the following error, reinstalling the package should fix it.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/menulibre", line 40, in <module>
import menulibre
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'menulibre'

Why isn't this in the official repos yet? Simply the best menu editor.

Has this package been abandoned?

I'm having the same problem as nipsky and 87dv.
Tried reinstalling menulibre and deleting ~/.config/menus. Nothing helped.

It lacks another dependency: xdg-utils

I’m getting an error that resembles 87dv’s when starting the application:

Think a makedep should be moved to dep:
extra/intltool 0.51.0-1 0.04 MiB
extra/perl-xml-parser 2.44-3 0.14 MiB
community/python-distutils-extra 2.39-2 0.02 MiB

One of the above, maybe the last one.
On reinstall menulibre opens without any issues.

Thanks. :)

I get the same error as 87dv, any thoughts on how to get rid of it?

Something is wrong here, it doesn't start for me. See http://pastebin.com/JhWH5qUt
I think, the problem is "ImportError: cannot import name GMenu, introspection typelib not found".
