Description Sebastien Bacher 2003-12-20 14:35:40 UTC 
This bug was originally reported in the Debian BTS:
http://bugs.debian.org/194703

"In an example package.schema file:
<gconfschemafile>
        <schemalist>
        <schema>
                <key>/schemas/apps/drivel/global_settings/user_list</key>
                <applyto>/apps/drivel/global_settings/user_list</applyto>
                <owner>drivel</owner>
                <type>list</type>
                <locale name="C">
                        <short>A list of every journal username previously
used on this machine.</short>
                </locale>
        </schema>
        </schemalist>
</gconfschemafile>

the following errors are produced:

WARNING: no <list_type> specified for schema of type list
WARNING: failed to install schema
`/schemas/apps/drivel/global_settings/user_list' locale `C': Schema
specifies type list but doesn't specify the type of the list elements

There is no documentation on <list_type>, only <type> in
/usr/doc/gconf2/gtk-doc-html/
or the man pages."
Comment 1 André Klapper 2018-08-17 13:58:01 UTC 
GConf has been deprecated since 2011.

GConf is not under active development anymore. Its codebase has been archived:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/gconf/commits/master

dconf and gsettings are its successors. See https://developer.gnome.org/gio/stable/ch34.html and https://developer.gnome.org/GSettings/ for porting info.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect
reality. Feel free to open a task in GNOME Gitlab if the issue described in this task still applies to a recent + supported version of dconf/gsettings. Thanks!
