The error reappears after running it once because the ~/.vifm/colorscheme file gets (re)created. Any defined colorscheme causes it to crash.

Kjell - thanks for the patch it was just missing one other location where that change was required. I've made that change and created a debdiff out of it.

In the debdiff you might also notice some backup files were removed. I think this is fine as it all makes the package greener! ;-) I've also mentioned it to upstream.
