gucharmap misses dependency on gconf2

[Marc D.]

Binary package hint: gucharmap

gucharmap misses a dependency on gconf2.

In its prerm-script it uses gconf-schemas, which is in gconf2. That is, if one tries to remove gucharmap while gconf2 is already removed, it fails in prerm and cannot be removed:

Removing gucharmap ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/gucharmap.prerm: 6: gconf-schemas: not found
dpkg: error processing gucharmap (--purge):
 subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 127

This is fixed in Debian sid in 1:2.22.3-1, the problem exists in the current version in Intrepid Ibex and Hardy Heron.

This can be confirmed for Hardy.

[Alessio Treglia (quadrispro)]

I can confirm for intrepid, I'm working on it.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

thank you for your bug report, that's not a blocker so I declined the nomination

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the change is not really correct, adding a depends on ${misc:Depends} would be better

[Alessio Treglia (quadrispro)]

Thank you Sebastien, attached fixed debdiff

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the changelog is not correct now, you don't add a gconf2 depends, the misc depends is doing this change

[Alessio Treglia (quadrispro)]

fixed debdiff
