On a fully updated Kali Rolling system, the xrdp package (version 0.10.6.1-2+kali1) fails to start because the configuration file /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini is not created during installation. The service exits immediately with a log configuration error.

This issue is reproducible even when completely purging xRDP and reinstalling.
It also affects the previous version (0.10.6-1+kali1) when /etc/xrdp/ has been removed before installation.
This strongly suggests a packaging or postinst regression.

Environment:

Kali Rolling (fully updated)

xRDP versions tested:

0.10.6.1-2+kali1

0.10.6-1+kali1

STRATO KVM virtual server (Debian 12 → Kali migration)

XFCE, LightDM, Xorg all functioning normally

No local console available (STRATO limitation), but Xorg and XFCE sessions are healthy

Steps to reproduce:

sudo apt purge xrdp xorgxrdp

Remove /etc/xrdp/ completely

Install either version:

sudo apt install xrdp

or sudo apt install ./xrdp_0.10.6-1+kali1_amd64.deb

Start the service:
sudo systemctl start xrdp

Actual result:
xRDP fails to start:

Code
We could not open the configuration file to read log parameters
Error reading configuration for log based on config: /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini
log_start error
Systemd status:

Code
xrdp.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
xrdp.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'
Expected result:
The postinst script should generate a valid /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini (and related files), allowing the service to start normally.

Additional notes:

The directory /etc/xrdp/ is created, but the configuration file is not.

Manually creating an INI file does not resolve the issue because the package expects a version‑specific configuration layout.

Xorg, LightDM, and XFCE are fully functional; the issue is isolated to the xRDP package.

This appears to be a regression in the Kali packaging scripts.

Request:
Please review the xRDP packaging and postinst logic to ensure that /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini and related configuration files are generated correctly during installation.
