Bug#257456: gconf2: gconftool-2 --makefile-install-rule hangs while installing packages

[Walther Zwart]

Hi,

I removed and re-installed gconf2 and friends, but it didn't work.

What do you think? Is there a bug in gconf2 or is it just a problem on my
pc? If nobody else experiences my problem, I could re-install my system.
But if there is a bug, I could also install gconf2 from source and then
try to find out where it goes wrong. But that would take some time,
because I can't do it anytime soon.
