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?
