After installing any program using apt-get, the following lines of code appear in the terminal:
This problem seems to be related to the file wxmaxima.menu
, so I opened it up and took a look.
?package(wxmaxima):\ needs="X11"\
section="Applications/Science/Mathematics"\ title="wxMaxima"\
longtitle="GUI for the computer algebra system Maxima"\
icon16x16="/usr/share/pixmaps/wxmaxima-16.xpm"\
icon32x32="/usr/share/pixmaps/wxmaxima-32.xpm"\
command="/usr/bin/wxmaxima"
I then compared it to another "menu" file, this one being from Transmission:
?package(transmission-gtk):needs="X11"
section="Applications/Network/File Transfer" \
title="Transmission BitTorrent Client (GTK)" command="/usr/bin/transmission-gtk" \
icon="/usr/share/pixmaps/transmission.xpm"
The error message stated that it expected a "=" sign, but it's clearly there. As well, I don't see any difference between the wxmaxima and transmission menu files (expect that the wxmaxima one causes an error).
Can someone shine some light on this?
UPDATE: Here's the output from apt-cache policy wxmaxima; lsb_release -a
