| Try in a terminal session executing the following commands:
|
| sudo apt-get --purge remove displayconfig
| sudo apt-get install displayconfig

As there's no displayconfig package, I've purged kde-guidance:

-----
root at quinilg:~# dpkg -S bin/displayconfig
kde-guidance: /usr/bin/displayconfig-restore
kde-guidance: /usr/bin/displayconfig
displayconfig-gtk: /usr/bin/displayconfig-gtk

But it still shows the same error  8-(  any other idea?

TIA  ;)

Note: error after purging the package and installing it again seems the same 
to me:
