dpkg: error processing tor (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script return
Errors were encountered while processing:

Updating desktop entries... Done
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code

The following gives no error message but changes nothing (i e if followed by a new apt-get install tor or apt-get -f install I will still get the above output)

Code:

chown debian-tor:debian-tor /var/lib/tor

A little help would be greatly appreciated...
