Hi Rainer,

I did more edits to the netman-gui.postinst script as follows:

--------------------
2) db_get netman-gui/netman-autostart
        if [ "$RET" = "true" ]; then
            file="/etc/xdg/autostart/netman.desktop";
            cp /usr/share/applications/netman.desktop /etc/xdg/autostart/
        else
            if [ -f "/etc/xdg/autostart/netman.desktop" ]; then
                rm /etc/xdg/autostart/netman.desktop
            fi    
        fi    
    ;;
--------------------


However, using dpkg-reconfiguer netman-gui I get the error:

root@edbarx-pc:/home/edbarx# dpkg-reconfigure netman-gui
/var/lib/dpkg/info/netman-gui.postinst: 24:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/netman-gui.postinst: [-f: not found

I think this has to do with incorrect script syntax.

Any hints are greatly appreciated.

Edward
