Package: libgconf2-4 Version: 3.2.3-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
the upgrade from gconf 2.32.4-1 to 3.2.3-1 broke the support for GCONF_DEFAULT_SOURCE_PATH. The latter had been introduced to allow tools like jhbuild to tell GConf about additional places to search for defaults and settings. Without this support Sugar [1] won't work inside sugar-jhbuild [2] as no defaults are set. This is partially due to an upstream bug (Gnome#664031 [3]) and partially because Debian explicitly configures GConf to use the new DBus backend (which lacks GCONF_DEFAULT_SOURCE_PATH support) instead of the default ORBit backend (which supports GCONF_DEFAULT_SOURCE_PATH).
