01 July, update of package above completed with an error. After restart my xfce settings (wallpaper, fonts,panels configuration etc) was lost. I had to restore the system from Clonezilla backup. Be careful.
Can the package be safely removed at all?

Hi,
Pease take a look at siduction-settings-kde install error topic.
It was the same error ( I mean in configure state ) ?
If so almost sure at least one line from /etc/passwd doesn't have 7 fields separated by (:) or you have an empty line at the end of /etc/passwd.
Please fix it and reinstall siduction-settings-xfce.
Thank you.

Thanks, convbsd. I checked my etc/passwd and removed the empty line. But it didn't help (Maybe, because my system is configured to use sudo way  instead of su?). Postinstall script still having a permission problem. Will try on. But, regarding that all, do you think removing the package is the simpliest way? Is it safe?

Hi,
Do you have on any line from /etc/passwd field separator : six times ?
Thank you.

Hi,
/etc/passwd seems to be ok.
As you say it might be also another problem because you say that you have removed the empty line.
Against what siduction release have you done a d-u ?
Thank you.

riders on the storm. Actually, I don't use d-u, normally I use Synaptic for extra clarity what packages are to upgrade etc. My current version of siduction-settings-xfce is 2013.06.20
P.S. Gonna make newer Clonezilla backup to play around with the update to gather more info.

Here is upgrade output with approximate translation of Russian parts in square brackets. Maybe it will help.

P.S. gvfs related lines are most suspicious, IMHO (but I'm not an IT specialist).

Hi
I will investigate the problem and I will try to fix it.
A question please /home/max/.gvfs is chown argument ?
It should be /home/max .
User max is in max group ?
Thank you

Your questions are a bit above my skills. Please give me some hints (comandlines etc) to answer more correctly and more quickly. Thanks.
P.S. Oddly enough, user "Max Puzirew" is NOT in max group now, according to standard gnome "users and groups" utility.

Hi
"chown: невозможно получить доступ к" means
chown /home/max/.gvfs ?
What output has  ls -l /home/max ?
Thank you

"chown: невозможно получить доступ к «/home/max/.gvfs»" means literally "chown:impossible to get access to «/home/max/.gvfs»"

Nothing unusual, IMHO. Don't pay attention to some garbage files.
Hmm, should I change the attributes of .gvfs folder? They are dr-x------ (500 in hex)

I don't know why it fails there.
Maybe it's synaptic fault.

So, I will try "do and see what happens" method several times :) If unsuccessfull, maybe I will have to remove the package or keep the old version for a while.
Thank you very much, convbsd!

Please keep old version.
It seems that I must change something in kde and xfce settings.
Thank you.
