Dear maintainer
I wrote that I use Debian Jessie with the MATE desktop environment.
However, I should have written that I use Stretch with the MATE desktop
environment. I upgraded from Jessie to Stretch only two months ago.
Furthermore, the Bug Tracking System has indicated that
mate-system-tools 1.8.1+dfsg1-2 belongs to Oldstable, which struck me in
particular.
I submitted my bug report to mate-system-tools, not knowing that that
package does not belong to Stretch.
It has turned out that I still had 35 packages that belonged to Jessie
installed, and I also had 145 remnant configurations of packages that
belonged to Jessie.
I have removed the 35 obsolete packages and the 145 remnant
configurations.
However, the problem remains.
The application to manage the main menu of MATE shows that the command
line that is used for 'Users and groups' is 'mate-users-admin'. That
command is obsolete in Stretch, but I do not know what it should be.
Furthermore, it still is not possible to start the application to manage
users and groups from the MATE Configuration Centre.
So there seem to be serious configuration faults in MATE resulting from
upgrading from Jessie to Stretch.
Kind regards
Maarten
