severity 405897 important
thanks

Hi Terry,

I'm raising the severity of this bug because at this point, there are three
library source packages being kept around solely for the benefit of
sgcontrol (gnome-vfs, gconf, and oaf), and one of these, gconf, is currently
RC-buggy -- and all are effectively unmaintained.

I'm working on an NMU for gconf that would let it build with libdb4.5
instead of the obsolete libdb3, but there will be no upgrade support for any
gconf databases using the bdb backend anyway, and IMHO it would really be
preferable to drop these libraries altogether instead of keeping them on
perpetual life support.

Is there any progress on a GTK+2 port of this utility, or are there any
other programs with similar functionality that might replace it?
