Yes, I thought this was not the case, in which case gconf-service would have just worked while installed for another architecture. > I've therefore uploaded the attached > workaround to Ubuntu, which further splits the package into a M-A: foreign > gconf-service, listed in the shlibs and used as the dependency for all > packages other than gconf2; and a M-A: none gconf-service-backend, containing > the actual files and used as the dependency of gconf2 and gconf-service. How about, instead, putting the backends in a M-A: same package named gconf-backends, keep the D-Bus service and the daemon in gconf-service, and adjusting the dependencies accordingly? Alternatively we can move the backends to libgconf-2-4, I guess this would work just as fine. Cheers, -- .''`.
