Created attachment 172195 [details] [review] gconf-2.24.0-no-gconfd.patch Since GConf-2.24 we are using the attached patch to prevent problems like this: http://bugs.gentoo.org/238276 (gconftool-2 trying to write on non-allowed dirs when installing) Feel free to accept it if you want Thanks
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 Its codebase has been archived: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/gconf/commits/master dconf and gsettings are its successors.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!
