Package: desktop-profiles Version: 1.4.5 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 10.7.4
The file /etc/gconf2/path is a conffile owned by the package gconf2. Postinst of desktop-profiles offers through debconf to mess with that file. That is a violation of Debian Policy section 10.7.4. I see no other policy-compliant approaches to fixing this than either a) Convince the gconf2 maintainer to adopt your hack b) Convince the gconf2 maintainer to provide a tool for hacking c) Provide your hack only as a "tweak" By "tweak" I mean write a self-contained script, include it with your package, and make a note to the local admin in README.Debian about its existence. CDDs can then choose to break Debian Policy and automate the use of your tweak, possibly asking first through debconf. - Jonas P.S. If defining a CDD as something completely within Debian (as discussed recently on the debian-custom mailinglist) then off course they also are not allowed to automate your gconf2 tweak. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-rc3-mm3+debianlogo+squashfs Locale: LANG=da_DK, LC_CTYPE=da_DK (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Versions of packages desktop-profiles depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.49 Debian configuration management sy -- debconf information: * desktop-profiles/replace-gconf-system-wide-path-file: false -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
