*Briefly describe your issue below:
Anonsurf does not work on my system. I tried doing a full parrot-upgrade and it gives back dpkg errors (below) saying parrot-privacy was unable to install because anon surf is not installed … However in Synaptic both show as installed and current. (I only ran parrot-update from sudo terminal)
Parrot OS 4.9.1 > Updated on June 23rd Rolling Release : MATE
Persistent Encrypted live USB : fresh DD today, very stock, tested to assure the persistence worked and then ran the parrot-upgrade procedure
If there are any error messages or relevant logs, post them below:

I also also noticed … the anonsurf start/stop script run and then the terminal window automatically goes away when done … If I remember before parrot-upgrade the terminal window stayed showing so I could see everything it did
did touch, the apt update, then apt full-upgrade ::: same error with parrot-privacy

So I tried running apt install anonsurf --reinstall AGAIN, and this time it seems to have worked and installed correctly (because torrc existed):

Thank you! unrelated, but while I have your attention. No matter how I erase the 'Install ParrotOS" from the desktop, (on my persistent usb) it always comes back on a reboot … everything else stays where I put it… I’ve checked the look and feel, the startup items, etc… How can I make it so it just lives in my home folder, not always stuck to the desktop?
