[Bug 1851573] Re: configuration file //.config/debconf-kde-helperrc not writable

 

Incidentally, when `debconf-kde-helper` is launched, it outputs a couple
of `export` statements, including one for `$DEBCONF_PIPE` and then stays
running. Presumably, it is waiting for an external process to connect to
send it things to work with. I observed that it outputs these items and
stays open regardless of whether the "//.config/..." error is displayed.
I suspect, therefore, that the "//.config/..." error is in fact a
_warning_ and not a fatal error. Its inability to check per-user
configuration on startup is probably not preventing it from doing its
debconf-related activities.
