means that the package was removed (or is marked to be removed) but that config files are still present. You certainly need to reinstall desktop-file-utils, but you also need to investigate why its missing in the first place. I suspect you have other things missing as well.

it could be related to the use of the testing repos, but I don't think so. no one else has reported in problems. Potentially there is an incomplete update somewhere, so you could try

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install -f
to see if an update completes.
