Package: gconf2 Severity: wishlist I have (IIRC) been screwed in the past using update-gconf-defaults because I had two files: 20-foo and 20-foo~. The latter was created by Emacs when I edited 20-foo, and contains an old version. Because update-gconf-defaults uses both as input, the net effect is that the older version overwrites the newer version, confusing me.
run-parts is another Debian tool that uses a number of files in a directory. It has very specific requirements about what the file names should be, to avoid running backup files. It would be nice if update-gconf-defaults adopted a similar approach. If the --lsbsysinit option is given, then the names must not end in .dpkg-old or .dpkg-dist or .dpkg-new or .dpkg-tmp, and must belong to one or more of the following namespaces: the LANANA-assigned namespace (^[a-z0-9]+$); the LSB hierarchical and reserved namespaces (^_?([a-z0-9_.]+-)+[a-z0-9]+$); and the Debian cron script namespace (^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]*$). -- run-parts(8) -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_AU.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gconf2 depends on: pn gconf2-common <none> (no description available) ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries pn libgconf2-4 <none> (no description available) ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.6-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libxml2 2.6.32.dfsg-5 GNOME XML library ii psmisc 22.6-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy ii python 2.5.2-3 An interactive high-level object-o Versions of packages gconf2 recommends: ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.11-4 The GTK+ graphical user interface gconf2 suggests no packages. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
