When installing the IBM tsm backup client I have the following message on lucid (works on precise)

> sudo apt-get upgrade
Setting up tsm-client (6.4.0.7-3) ...
xdg-desktop-menu: No writable system menu directory found.
dpkg: error processing tsm-client (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 3
Errors were encountered while processing:
 tsm-client
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

What is the problem here?

I found the answer on linux bug reports. It is a bug in xdg. I have found that you can get around it by simply creating the folder it is looking for. i.e.

sudo mkdir /usr/share/desktop-directories/
