That looks to be okay. I suppose I could suppress the error. (make it hidden)

why is it trying to move the old version to trash and failing than?

When you update, this happens:

• New version of vdesktop is downloaded. First, we have to:
• Move the current version of vdesktop to vdesktop.old. But before we can do that, we first have to:
• Move vdesktop.old to trash.

So, if vdesktop.old doesn't exist, you will see that error.
Make sense?

yes, I just thought that it tries to move vdesktop.old to trash after reanming the old version, I didn't think about the fact that vdesktop.old will be there in all updates after the first. thanks for the explanaition.
