Description:
As a long qtcreator user I have existing settings, projects etc. Today after upgrading to extra/qtcreator 4.6.2-1 [installed] I started receiving strange error dialogs on startup. Multiple items and I could not do anything other than quit. Which gave me various more such dialogs. Example dialog text; "Cannot overwrite file /home/me/.config/QtProject/qtcreator/devices.xml: Unknown error" That file exists just fine and after git cloning and compiling the same version of qtcreator manually this issue goes away. So its likely a build error. Maybe you forgot to rebuild creator after Qt updated? |

I was able to fix these issues by deleting the ~/.config/QtProject directory and reinstalling qtcreator. It is likely you will need to reconfigure kits and project configurations after doing so. I consider this a sufficient fix, but others may not deem it so.
After my fix, I can not find a way to reproduce the issue. Only one partition is in use on my system, utilizing the ext4 filesystem.
