kxc fails to install because the configuration doesn't exist

[luca]

Trying to install kxc the installation fails while trying to create the initrd because /etc/kxc doesn't exist, but to create /etc/kxc you normally need to run kxc.

The install command is removing kxd because I mixed up the packages, but it doesn't look like the problem is related to having installed kxd, it is very clear that it is about the missing /etc/kxc:

$ sudo apt install --purge kxd- kxc
