I was wanting to try a later build of i2p.  I tried this is two seperate
methods.  First, I tried using their installer method which uses java
-jar.  So I made the folder /usr/share/i2p persistent, re-started Tails,
then used java -jar.  This borked i2p so not knowing any better, I did a
fresh install on the usb.  The second time I tried, I used their .deb to
install the latest build on i2p; that also borked i2p but this time, I
understood that I didn't have to make a fresh install: all I had to do was
uncheck the folder in Configure Persistent Storage and reboot.  After
this, i2p worked just fine, but removing /usr/share/i2p did something
unforseen: it erased all of my files in a seperate folder:
/home/amnesia/.xchat2 .  So I tried re-configuring xchat to my liking
again, rebooted, and discovered that my changes were not being saved.  I
tried this a couple of times, making changes to xchat and rebooting to see
if my changes were being saved: they weren't.  I had to deselect
/home/amnesia/.xchat2 , restart, then make the folder again in Configure
Persistent Storage, reboot and now it is working again.  This 'bug' can
potentially cause a lot of damage as I'm sure you can see:  what if I had
been using this for a few months when this happened and doing this would
have erased numerous folders instead of the only other custom one that I
have for the time being?  Can anyone duplicate this bug?
