Bug Description

The /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.gnome.GConf.service file from the gconf2-common package contains the line:
Exec=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgconf2-4/gconfd-2

correct line should be
Exec=/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabi/libgconf2-4/gconfd-2

This configuration error prevents metacity and gnome-terminal to spawn the gconfd-2 and makes all gnome applications fail to run.

tested using: linaro-media-create --rootfs ext4 --mmc /dev/sdc --binary linaro-o-ubuntu-desktop-tar-20111008-0.tar.gz --hwpack ../Skrivbord/hwpack_linaro-lt-mx5_20110929-0_armel_supported.tar.gz --dev mx53loco

18:07 < seb128> asac, could you guys not divert ubuntu package using official versions numbers? i.e ~linaro those? ;-)
18:10 < asac> seb128: yep thats wrong ... will forward your complain
18:10 < asac> seb128: is that version now taken?
18:10 < asac> e.g. did you upload ubuntu2?
18:10 < seb128> asac, not yet
18:10 < seb128> asac, thanks for complaining
18:10 < asac> seb128: how did you spot?
18:10 < seb128> asac, btw that version is broken
18:10 < seb128> asac, tseliot hit a but in this version that he got on an oem image
18:10 < seb128> but->bug

:11 < asac> k
18:11 < seb128> asac, gconf was multiarched but the dbus .service is in an arch:all binary
18:11 < seb128> asac, so the path is the i386 one
18:11 < seb128> which breaks the service activation on other arches

For now probably the easiest way is to drop the multiarchized gconf package from linaro overlay. Once I'm back I'll create an improved m-a package.

I just reverted your change for now, so you can work properly on it
when you're back.

We should also avoid just bumping the ubuntu version of the package,
and starting appending 'linaro' the same way ubuntu does with debian.

was this backed out? if so we can close this bug if the gconf multiarch'izing work item is tracked elsewhere.
