I recently installed Mint 18 on a desktop system, and added e and
terminology like this:

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:niko2040/e19
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install enlightenment terminology

All working nicely. Then this morning I ran my weekly update:

peter@oimelc:~/$ sudo apt update
[sudo] password for peter:
Hit:1 http://ppa.launchpad.net/gezakovacs/ppa/ubuntu xenial InRelease
Hit:2 http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu xenial InRelease
Hit:3 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial InRelease
Get:4 http://ppa.launchpad.net/niko2040/e19/ubuntu xenial InRelease
...all normal.

So off it went and updated everything just fine...EXCEPT at the end:

dpkg: error processing package terminology (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

Errors were encountered while processing:
 terminology
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Terminology has disappeared from my menus and from /usr/bin so it has
vanished.

I tried to get it back with:

$ sudo apt-get --reinstall install terminology

Does anyone know where I can get it in a .deb form that won't vanish at
an update?
