i opened xterm.
went root. then wrote touch /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon.
it said no such file or directory
Code:
sudo touch /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon

You need rootsh from extras repository installed for this to work
Inside the vi editor go down to line 6, the infamous /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon line.
Only type whats inside the brackets <>, note that : starts a command inside vi.
Type <i> for insert mode, type <#> to comment out the line, type <Esc> to leave insertion mode, type <:w> to write or save the file, type <:q> to quit the editor.
Do not tell me that vi sucks, i already know!
Then
Code:
sudo gainroot vi /var/lib/dpkg/info/account-plugin-salut.postinst

Type <i> for insert mode, type <#> to comment out the line, type <Esc> to leave insertion mode, type <:w> to write or save the file, type <:q> to quit the editor.

...I have followed the instructions given by others in this thread to fix my problem, so I know it works. Please read very carefully, I shall type this only once...
1. Ensure you have an active internet connection.
2. Start the terminal.
3. Type
and press enter.
4. Type
and press enter.
5. If you get an error that leafpad cannot be found, go to step 6, otherwise goto step 7.
6. Only if you get an error about leafpad - type
and press enter. Go back to step 4 and try again.
7. On the leafpad screen go to line 6 (the last line of the file) which starts with /etc. At the beginning of the line type hash and a space, so the line reads
8. Click the top of the screen on the bar where it says account-plugin-salut.postinst
9. Click Save
10. Click the "X" in the top right to close Leafpad.
11. Switch back to Terminal and type
You will get two lines about setting up account-plugin-salut and telepathy-extras.
The problem is now fixed.
12. I strongly suggest you now disable the -devel and -testing repositorys as installing software from these, as stated, may mess up your phone. If you are not comfortable with that, then please do not install software from these sources.
