Public bug reported:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libgtk-3-0:<arch>.postinst breaks InputMethod(IM)
cache file(immodules.cache), so that breaks IM environment for GTK-3
based applications.
[How to reproduce]
1) install precise
2) sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade libgtk-3-0=3.3.4-0ubuntu2
3) open gnome-terminal
4) Type ctrl-space(or your IM invoke key)
[Actual results]
IM(e.g. ibus) does not invoked. But, non GTK-3 application (such as
Firefox) could use ibus.
[Expect results]
IM invoked.
[Root cause/Background]
In many IM stacks, that use /usr/lib/<arch>/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/immodules.cache file
for invoking.
If that file has exists && empty, IM stacks could not start on GTK-3
applications.
in GTK-3 postinst scriptlet(e.g.
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libgtk-3-0:i386.postinst), that uses shell-globs with
unsafe way. If glob files does not exist, gtk-query-immodules-3.0
command does not output anything. So, /usr/lib/i386-linux-
gnu/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/immodules.cache file xed out by redirectiton.
