I've noticed that the "Save Current Settings" in Potato's Eterm version is horribly broken, but haven't had time to figure out why it is on my system. It saves config files that completely trash my keyboard mappings and then Eterm doesn't work, so I end up manually hacking away at MAIN until it's right again. In your case the whole package seems broken. Have you attempted a complete removal of the Eterm package with 'apt-get remove --purge Eterm' and a re-install to see if the broken paths will work?
