gnome-system-tools is a configuration utility. In Debian, configuration utilities can do anything, no matter how stupid, without it being considered an RC bug. The reasoning is that the administrator chooses to run the program; hence if chaos results then it is the admin's own fault. He should have known better.
If a higher standard than this were applied to gnome-system-tools -- e.g., if the standard were applied that g-s-t should not mangle system configuration files or dupe the admin into doing so, then g-s-t would not be releasable. (See the many bugs open against g-s-t in the Debian BTS.) If it couldn't be released with sarge then neither could the "gnome" package, which depends on it. You don't want sarge releasing without GNOME, do you? (P.S. Please note that this is my sarcastic way of saying that this bug report is an additional reason for deeming g-s-t not to be of release quality.) -- Thomas Hood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
