Can you try to re-install remove/re-install from with MX Package Installer Popular Apps?

Something with the nordvpn installer is wonky, as the installer (EDIT: within the potsrm of the nordvpn deb package) does not clear the immutable flag it has set before, hence cannot remove / replace existing stuff.
Quick Fix:
before (re-)/install within MX Package Installer -> Popular Apps
do run:

Code: Select all

sudo chattr -i -R /var/lib/nordvpn/data

Is this problem related to some MX Linux specific behavior? Or the installer is just wrong in general?

Anyway, now nordvpn again works, thank you!!!

Seems to be an issue with the postrm of the nordvpn provided deb package,
as the pstrm of the nordvpn-deb package containes, this

Code: Select all

rm -rf /var/lib/nordvpn
but it should better have this insteadt:

Code: Select all

chattr -i -R /var/lib/nordvpn
rm -rf /var/lib/nordvpn
So might be I need to fix the nordvpn deb itself also, before installing ;)
