The error message only comes up when I boot into the Trinity Desktop, but 
before I have any tools with which to capture a screenshot, or even to copy 
the text. I would have to take a photo with my phone, then transfer that to 
my desktop, etc. 

However, I believe other people, earlier in the thread, quoted the gist of the 
error message. 

quoting from L.S. McCarty's email (2020.04.29): 

It says "error code 9

Common failures include file and directory permissions"

The file "r14-xgd-update-validation-test9.txt" contains the text below 
<Filename>kde-kpdf_part.desktop</Filename>
<Filename>kde-ksensors.desktop</Filename> 
<Filename>kde-ksensors.desktop</Filename>
<Filename>kde-superkaramba.desktop</Filename> 
<Filename>kde-fsview.desktop</Filename>
<Filename>kde-kbiff.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-kbiff.desktop</Filename>
<Filename>kde-kpdf_part.desktop</Filename>

I get a series of three messages, which say more or less the same thing. Next 
time I reboot, I will try to take a photo; but since my system is stable 
otherwise, you might be waiting for a long while. Rather than relying on my 
memory, there are probably others who can quote it more exactly.
