What's up with this and will this mess up my system?

Thanks,

Did the same, my core and MDs had a file, not a directory at /root/Desktop so a directory couldn't be created.  It should be a directory though so I:

Code:

# rm /root/Desktop
# apt-get -f install
# apt-get upgrade

on each core and MD fixed it up for me.  I'm not sure when/how/why the /root/Desktop file was created.

Thx phenigma,
got the same problem and your hint fixed it.

Your welcome.  This issue will only affect a few who upgraded at a very specific time.  The issue has been fixed for new installs and anyone who upgrades from before the issue arose.
