found 208344 2.14.0-1 tags 208344 etch severity 208344 grave thanks For the past several days I have been encountering this problem. Luckily I mostly use KDE apps, but the few GTK apps I use are very important: I store a lot of data in Newton, and I store passwords in Revelation. Both of these are _completely unusable_ right now. Here is all the information I have pertaining to this:

(I see the locale errors, and I have filed #363644. I don't know if these
CORBA errors are related, but I will say that, despite the locale errors when
scripts run, including dpkg and other scripts, everything else on the system
works perfectly. So it seems like GConf should be able to cope as well.)
Please look into this. I don't have any idea of how to fix it, and it's making
the data in these apps (especially Revelation) inaccessible. I'm probably
going to have to ditch Revelation and just about any other GConf-using app
after this works out, because I can't depend on them. :(
