Bug#908420: Buster: KVIrc forgets to use settings folder from previous installation

[local10]

The following is as how I was able to resolve the issue:

1. Rename "old" ~/.config/kvirc into ~/.config/KVIrc
2. Create ~/.config/kvirc file (file, not folder) as follows:

$ ls -l ~/.config/kvirc
-rw--- 1 luser luser 76 Nov 29 17:34 /home/luser/.config/kvirc

$ cat ~/.config/kvirc
[Main]
LocalKvircDirectory=/home/luser/.config/KVIrc/
SourcesDate=538312962


The bug stands though as something really does not work right in the setup 
wizard.

Package: kvirc 
Version: 4:4.9.3~git20180404+dfsg-1

Hi,

Have "/home/luser/.config/kvirc/" folder from a previous version of KVIrc. In 
Buster, Kvirc keeps opening the Setup Wizard even if I have selected "Use 
settings folder from previous installation" before.

Here's what I did:

1. Launch Kvirc
2. Kvirc opens the Setup Wizard
3. Select "Use settings folder from previous installation" and point it to 
"/home/luser/.config/kvirc/"
4. Click Next
5. Click Finish
6. Kvirc opens and functions fine, all the settings from previous installation 
seem to have been successfully imported
7. Close Kvirc then launch it again. Kvirc again opens the Setup Wizard and I 
have to go through steps 2-6 above again to get my old settings imported.

 Thanks
