Comment 1 Kjartan Maraas 2011-05-25 12:51:20 UTC

Looks like this happened when trying to convert settings for empathy from GConf settings to gsettings. Has it happened again later?

Comment 2 Eliah Kagan 2011-06-27 15:18:41 UTC

Yes, I have reproduced it more than once on the same system (with considerably newer package versions), and it seems like I can reproduce it easily at any time. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gconf/+bug/607999/comments/9 for details.

Comment 3 André Klapper 2018-08-17 13:59:29 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 Its codebase has been archived: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!
