Does the problem crop up in a new user that uses phoenix? ie if you set up a 
new user using useradd and attempt to use phoenix with that account does it 
work or not? If it does then there will be a probably hidden directory in 
the users home dir that contains settings that can be edited or deleted to 
reset a users use of that package.

If it does not work then you will probably need to re install the package 
with the --allfiles option as --force will not replace config files. --force 
relates to conflicts with previous instalations of the package or with files 
installed by other packages.
