Public bug reported: Currently, gconf on pidgin is only used to retrieve proxy settings from GNOME. It puts an hard depends on gconf, even if pidgin is used on a non-gnome environment. Also, it seems that this feature may be broken (see LP #878032 and https://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/13867).
The included debdiff move away the gconf files to a pidgin-gnome binary, so people not using GNOME can remove the gconf depends. ** Affects: pidgin (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Patch added: "pidgin_2.10.12-0ubuntu3.debdiff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1550896/+attachment/4583282/+files/pidgin_2.10.12-0ubuntu3.debdiff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1550896 Title: Move GConf depends to a seperate binary To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/1550896/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
