How can I verify this problem? Are you requesting that nmapsi4 add a dependency for the menu package?

I've just hit this similar issue on Xubuntu 20.04. The problem here is there's a missing "Depends: kde-cli-tools" because the "Full mode" desktop file tries to call kdesu which isn't installed:

Exec=kdesu nmapsi4

I think that is probably not the way to do it even though it is a using a QT GUI - it should switch to using pkexec or similar rather than rely on a flavour-specific core tool.

$ cat /usr/share/applications/kde4/nmapsi4-admin.desktop
