This rm -rf is much older than the changes for this bug, I've traced it back in the SVN history to being *older* than 2.4.0-4 (Apr 2004!) It was probably a big hammer to cleanup /etc/gtk-2.0 from generated files like loaders as you suggest; this is probably long obsolete. I suggest removing the rm -rf; the /etc files should all be conffiles at this point; if this causes any issue, we can add a set of more targeted rm-s. -- Loïc Minier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
