missing required tag: "section"

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

Hi
I'm using Lubuntu and when I added Lubuntu daily ppa for updating my pcmanfm and other packages, I started getting this error:

Processing triggers for menu ...
/usr/share/menu/lxrandr: missing required tag: "section"
Skipping file because of errors...

Please see attached the full log.

I also get the following Terminal output in Lubuntu 13.10 while running the razorqt desktop :

Uninstalling and reinstalling the menu package does not help in Lubuntu 13.10.

Offending change: https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/trusty/lxrandr/trusty/revision/13#debian/menu

Example of working menu file (at a Debian system):

brother ~$ cat /usr/share/menu/lxrandr
?package(lxrandr):needs="X11" section="Applications/System/Monitoring"\
  title="LXRandR" longtitle="LXDE monitor configuration tool"\
  description="LXRandR is a GUI application for the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment (LXDE). It's a very basic monitor config tool utilizing the X extension called RandR to change the screen resolution on the fly."\
  command="/usr/bin/lxrandr"

Trusty has been released and a sudo apt-get upgrade still yields the error message. This thing is really just a couple of lines to fix. The error has been known for months and the simple fix (comment #4, thank you very much) known for weeks. This kind of errors just make the users feel uncertain and give the software a bad reputation.

Can't somebody with write access to the repository simply fix it?

Alternatively, can't somebody who is responsible for the repository give the author of comment #4 repository write access to fix it?

It is totally ridiculous that such a simple oversight get carried on for month, tainting the trustwortiness of the software distribution as a whole.

Debian menu is removed from lxrandr package, only XDG menu entry is in use now, so I think this issue may be closed.
