--- Begin Message ---Package: gconf2 Version: 2.28.1-3 Severity: normal During upgrades of various packages in squeeze, gconftool-2 gets called from maintainer scripts. During these calls, gconftool-2 uses an amazing amount of memory; over 100MB. When doing this on an XO-1 (which has 256MB of physical RAM), it ends up triggering the OOM killer if X and gnome are running. To give you some idea, here's my XO with full gnome running (using xmonad instead of metacity, but otherwise w/ everything else.. nautilus, g-panel, weather-applet, network-manager, hal, etc), a few gnome-terminals, and claws-mail running: total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 197580 176600 20980 0 180 95372 -/+ buffers/cache: 81048 116532 One would think that 116MB would be plenty for a dist-upgrade to happen, but no; gconftool-2 triggers the OOM killer. If I shut down X/gdm, that provides *just* enough to do the upgrade. It doesn't matter how many packages I'm upgrading; upgrading a single package that makes use of gconf will cause OOM. Watching gconftool-2 in top during the dist-upgrade shows it using at least 100MB before completion..
