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:
dpkg --configure -a
please can u explain it to me? i dont quite get it.
thanks

After you now edited the file please show its content to be sure what to edit, because the error from the dpkg command changed.
Code:
cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/account-plugin-salut.postinst
Do you have leafpad installed now?

This indicates that there is still something fishy with this file! Please paste the content of the file with the command
Code:
cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/account-plugin-salut.postinst

There's too many people helping here. I think it is confusing the OP. I am now going to bow out and leave it to michaaa62 to resolve -

Michaaa62 - if you want me to take over, please PM me.

it says, # ! /bin/sh

gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/hicolor

# avahi doesn't like starting itself. this is a bit of a hack though.
* /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon start

now what should i do?

It must be no star *, but an hash # at the beginning of the file.
