Hi Cyber R. Wizard

Hiya, svobi! How ya doin'?

Your last suggestion ended in "command not found" ! ;-(

Yes, the package, "menu," isn't installed on your system.

Why shall I now install (all menu) again ??

You need to install the package, "menu," with the command:
<sudo apt-get install menu>
Or use the package manager of your choice. I like synaptic.
The package, menu, doesn't re-install menus, only keeps menus in order.
I run it after each update or package installation.

I am only wondering why they aren't sorted from A to Z completely with
all but
from Keyring to Users & Groups and then another some again from
Printing to User Profile Editor !?

Hopefully, ideally, running <update-menus> will fix this.

I do not want to mess my system !!! ;-D
Cheers, svobi

Here's what the package description says:
-----
Menu
generates programs menu for all menu-aware applications
Debian menu keeps transparently the menus in the different
window-managers in sync with the list of installed programs.

Debian menu relies on a list of menu entries provided by programs
and a list of menu-methods provided by window-managers and other
menu-aware applications.

Menu provides system-level and user-level configuration and overrides
for both menu entries and menu-methods.

Sounds good, doesn't it ?
After installing the package, "menu," you may run the command:
<update-menus>
to update your user menus or:
<sudo update-menus>
in order to update your menus system-wide. (thank you, Peter!) It is
a utility to keep the various menu items properly in order. It only
takes a few seconds to install and a few seconds to run it from a
terminal.
