Replying to my own post, tacky, I know. I am the fourth or so person that's been hit by this bug, and each time (I think this has been correlated), it is after dpkg --purge'ing a package that we don't need. It appears that there are non-core packages that list the ui_standards.rc file as something that should be removed whilst purging the package. At least, that's the only explanation I can come up with, because I definetly did not purge libkdeui-data (at least, until I needed to in order to get the rc file back). So, this is just an FYI, a thanks for all the hard work, and a have a nice day! Oh, I just realized, I didn't meantion what I did to fix it: dpkg --force-depends --purge libkdeui-data dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libkdeui-data_4%3a3.1.0+rc6+kl-3_all.deb Just dpkg -i'ing the file without first purging did *not* restore the file.
