------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-26-06 19:01 ------- I think it will be fixed with GConf 2.3.3 which provides a way to uninstall schemas values but it will also require to fix all GNOME packages to uninstall their schemas in %preun -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: NEW creation_date: description: The default gconf database (/etc/gconf) is altered by severl package post install scripts. It is easily possible to overwrite the settings of already installed packages (e.g. totem and nautilus-media video thumbnailer do this). It also seems to be impossible to undo some changes once made by the post install scripts leaving dead/unworking stuff in there breaking things (see Bug 4097 for an example). So we end up having race conditions between packages again: the last one overwrites the configuration of the previous ones and never undoes them when uninstalled.
