Upstream committed a fix in their git repository with a "migration dialog". I've backported it in 2.11.5, would you please be so kind to test it, before uploading? AMD64: http://debomatic.debianit.it/unstable/pool/gthumb_2.11.5-2/gthumb_2.11.5-2_amd64.deb i386: http://debomatic.debian.net/unstable/pool/gthumb_2.11.5-2/gthumb_2.11.5-2_i386.deb You'll also need the -data package (the same for all architectures): http://debomatic.debianit.it/unstable/pool/gthumb_2.11.5-2/gthumb-data_2.11.5-2_all.deb If you say it works, I'll upload it to sid. So that we can have gThumb when squeeze is frozen :) Thank you, David -- . ''`.
