Creating the .config folder and file works fine (for me anyway). Think
there may be some confusion as to the pathing - the .config folder
SHOULD be /home/username/,config  ----- but, it's NOT. The command
//.config, at least in my case, is referring to a non-existent folder -
specifically /.config (yes - off the root directory). Of course, the
folder doesn't exist and even if it did, in it's location we wouldn't
have access to it.

Simple to "fix", but a bit clumsy
terminal - sudo su or whatever you gotta do to get root
cd /
mkdir .config
cd .config
touch debconf-kde-helperrc
cd /
chown -hR username .config

Inelegant, but whatever, it works. I've avoided too much command line
trickery as that's always a bit confusing for some folks (myself
included - just getting back into linux after years away, gotta say it's
AMAZING).

Anyway, be looking into the root cause of this issue as time allows, but
until then, it's working without error and the file doesn't seem to get
written to anyway (still 0 bytes)

Cheers
