Hello Bernhard, yes, I still encounter this bug in Debian/testing (Buster). I still can't login to a GNOME session using sddm. Using startx and running gnome-session from ~/.xinitrc everything works fine. I suspect running the X session from a display manager some environment variables do not get set correctly also. Because when I login to Enlightenment DR17 through sddm I also have an error configuring desktop-file-utils though apt. Here is the error shown: Processing triggers for desktop-file-utils (0.23-4) ... dpkg: error processing package desktop-file-utils (--configure): installed desktop-file-utils package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1 Running apt via an login shell on the console everything works fine and the post-installation script succeeds. I don't have any of those old GNOME applications installed, you mentioned. I still wonder what could be the issue. Thanks for your help. Yours sincerely, Adrian -- With many greetings from Leipzig, Germany.
