Package: libgconf2-4
Version: 2.28.0-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Well, I can't say the package is unuseable on _every_ system, only mine. So
perhaps
"grave" is too much.
Programs that uses gconf, such as icedove and iceweasel, fail to start up.
When I start them, gconfd-2 uses 100% cpu forever, and so does the
iceweasel/icedove
processes. No windows appear, ever.
I tried removing the .gconf and .gconfd directories, hoping that might
give a "new start". I also killed the running gconfd-2 process.
It did not help. When I ran icedove, I got an icedove process and a
gconfd-2 process both eating 100% cpu again.
While this persists, I use another web browser and look for other
mail readers. :-( Of course, using testing and unstable can be risky.
