why pop out this window "the platform you are running is not supported by this tool"?

[Star Liu]

My box is debian sid amd64 with desktop gnome, when i performance some
admin on the system by click on a item in System-Administration, it
pops out a window to let me choose my platform, then i choose the
debian gnu/linux, unstable/testing. why it always makes me to choose,
can't it detect it automatically? thanks.

Traditionally, this behavior is controlled by a config file in /etc.

Unfortunately, modern FLOSS (Gnome/KDE/...) doesn't make it easy to
find whatever you need to fix it (locate, mlocate, slocate, what's
installed today?!?).  Sometimes it's a config file, sometimes you have
to fiddle with gconf (or whatever), KDE (dunno, sorry)?!?

I recommend avoiding apps like that (incl. Gnome/KDE/...), but that
rule only seems to work for me.

thank you for your advice, I will send a email to gnome/natilus to ask about
this.
