Testing M5_64, LXDE Updated menu-cache to: lib64menu-cache3-1.0.0-5.1.mga5 menu-cache-1.0.0-5.1.mga5 Re-booted after the update, and tried every first & last menu & sub-menu ('more') item. All OK. Could see no way to use strace to see whether these two libraries are called during menu manipulations, so OKing the update. Validating; advisory in place.
