Because conffile modification are preserved by package install/upgrade (so you don't lose your modifications when upgrading, for example), and removing a conffile is a perfectly acceptable modification, which should be kept. > > I followed this thread by Paul Wise: > > https://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2013/05/msg00115.html > > > You can force it by using apt-get --reinstall -o Dpkg::Options::="--force- > > confmiss" install libxfce4ui-common > > Ok, it did the job.

Also the checksum is wrong: dpkg-query -W -f='${Conffiles}\n' | grep xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml /etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml 65d7008f598ba5cd1e193a0f2950fbf3 What does dpkg -S /etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard- shortcuts.xml returns for you? Is xfce-keyboard-shortcuts installed? Regards, -- Yves-Alexis
