Gschema error if Marlin is installed too

[Daniel Kur]

When I installed pantheon-files (from elementary-daily) I received error with GSchema:
"/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.pantheon.files.gschema.xml: Error in line 4 with sign 1: <enum id='viewmode'> has already been determined. The entire file has been ignored." Moreover application crashes on start.

I think you probably have Marlin installed. However, it's a bad practice to use that kind of generic IDs in setting schemas. "org.pantheon.files.view-mode" would be more correct in order to avoid conflicts.

[Daniel Kur (daniel-m-kur)]

You are right. I deleted Marlin and Files now works.

Updated pantheon-files, and install reports:
Processing triggers for libglib2.0-0:i386 ...
/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.pantheon.files.gschema.xml: Error on line 4 char 1: <enum id='viewmode'> already specified. This entire file has been ignored.
Processing triggers for libglib2.0-0 ...
/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.pantheon.files.gschema.xml: Error on line 4 char 1: <enum id='viewmode'> already specified. This entire file has been ignored.

However, I had not seen this bug previously (though I was notified about one I posted earlier being a duplicate) and so had Marlin still installed as backup in case Files broke horrible (which it appeared to be doing).

Since the two conflict with each other, should not the pantheon-files package be modified as such and thus remove marlin?

No that's not necessary. We only need to use different (and more specific) enum IDs in the settings schema, like I mentioned in the comment above.
