           Summary: k menu applications pane is empty and default
                    applications are lost
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: firebringer11 at hotmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.98)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

After upgrading from 4.2.96 (RC2) to 4.2.98 (RC3), the "Applications" pane of
the k menu is empty. Similarly, the computer has lost all file associations and
application defaults.
I can use krunner to open things, but clicking on files only brings up the
'open with' menu, and that is blank.
This isn't exactly 'repeatable' but it is persistent, in that the problem is
there even after restarting the computer.

I should note that, during the installation (via Synaptic), my computer froze
and I restarted. I then ran 'dpkg --configure -a' to continue installation, but
was informed of broken packages. kdepim-lib (I think) needed to be reinstalled.
After that, the upgrade was successful, but the items listed above were gone.
