Hi, It seems to be a obsolete file. Can it be removed or updated ? I am doing an upload to Debian without the file " > I'd strongly suggest you simply stop shipping the (outdated/broken) > gconf2 convertion file in the debian pkg since all users of old gthumb > versions using gconf2 should have been uograded and converted over to > gsettings long ago already. > I'd also urge you to contact gthumb uostream to have them remove the > convertion file (or fix it if they think there are still remaining users > that need to be converted).

it is used to convert the settings from GConf to GSettings.
I checked the bug reported and I think the guy is right. I did not sent the complete explanation. Doing now: > > Among other things this file specifies the gconf2 key called > "show-thumbnails" should be mapped to "org.gnome.gthumb.browse > show-thumbnails" gsettings schema key. > > The gsettings schema for gthumb on the other hand also shipped declares > that no such key exists in the schema, see: > https://sources.debian.net/src/gthumb/3:3.4.3-1/data/org.gnome.gthumb.gschema.xml.in/#L48 > > My guess is that it has simply been removed and the convertion mapping > forgotten to be upgraded when doing so... > This suspicion was quickly confirmed by looking at your git history: > https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/gthumb.git/commit/data/org.gnome.gthumb.gschema.xml.in?id=485570d6cbd5cbc5a9026acc31ba9f108e9e998b
removed now.
