The source of the bug is that upstream had renamed /etc/dbus-1/system.d/system-tools-backends.conf to /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.SystemToolsBackends.conf after version 2.6.0. Unfortunately, a rename of a conffile must be handled in maintainer scripts to be handled properly. Otherwise, the old conffile simply sit there. In this case, overriding the proper D-Bus configuration and making gnome-system-tools fail. The attached patch fix this issue. The resulting package has been installed: * as a single upgrade on a freshly installed Squeeze (where the bug does not exist), * as a single upgrade on a Squeeze upgraded from Lenny where it fixes the issue, * as part as an upgrade from Lenny to Squeeze, and the issue does not appear anymore. This fix should really be included in the next Squeeze point-release. Cheers, -- Jérémy Bobbio .''`. [email protected] : :Ⓐ : # apt-get install anarchism `. `'` `-
