Version: 2.4.4.7-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
This morning I did a dist-upgrade on unstable, which updated gnome. I
said to keep my existing config file when prompted to by apt-get. When I
restarted my X session this afternoon, Gnome and KDE were no longer
available as login session types, and only the failsafe options
appeared.
A dpkg-reconfigure results in the following error message:
Unknown error, message=replacewith($string, $replace, $with): $replace
and $with must have the same length.
install-menu: /etc/menu-methods/freedesktop-desktop-entry-spec-dirs:
aborting
update-menus[1705]: Script
/etc/menu-methods/freedesktop-desktop-entry-spec-dirs returned error
status 1.
Unknown error, message=replacewith($string, $replace, $with): $replace

Is there a trivial way to rectify this so I can once more enjoy the
Gnomy goodless which is my laptop?
Thanks,
Mikal

Description:
gnome-session - The GNOME 2 Session Manager
Closes: 238885 241100
Changes:
gnome-session (2.4.2-3) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Re-use work from Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org> for 2.6.0:
+ debian/control.in:
- set maintainer to Josselin Mouette <joss@debian.org>
(closes: #238885).
- Build-Depends on cdbs and gnome-pkg-tools
+ debian/patches/*:
- converted all from dpatch to cdbs' simple-patch, some
of them were regenerated for various reasons, including
failure on apply and not including diff for Makefile.am
+ debian/rules:
- use cdbs
+ gnome-session.install:
- install some debian specific files that were installed
manually through debian/rules before
* Use metacity by default:
+ gnome-wm: use metacity or sawfish when it is available
+ default.session: let gnome-wm discover the window manager
* docs: removed, cdbs takes care of these.
* postinst,prerm: remove gconf stuff, dh_gconf does it for us.
* control.in: require debhelper 4.1.84.
* Provide a session for the display managers (closes: #241100):
+ add gnome-session.desktop
+ gnome-session.install: install it
* patches/:
+ 01_configure.diff, 03_Makefile.in.diff: removed
+ 00_Makefile.am.diff patches gnome-session/Makefile.am
+ 00_acinclude.m4.diff includes a copy of gnome2-macros/compiler-flags.m4
as aclocal 1.7 seems unable to find it.
+ 01_autoreconf.diff is the result of running libtoolize --force --copy;
aclocal; autoheader; automake -acf; autoconf.
* Use the splash screen from desktop-base by default.
+ patches/03_splash.diff: for the code and gconf stuff
+ control.in: depend on desktop-base.
* control.in: don't depend on debianutils, woody provides a sufficient
version.
* fix permissions:
+ compat: use debhelper v4
+ rules: chmod 755 the debian scripts
