Sorry for the trouble Josselin, your guess (another process intervened to this 
libgnome2-common install) might be right.

Still didn't have time to remove that "hand made" directory, well everything 
runs, so I'll let it be for a while. I'll check from packages what they 
create in there and see if anything should be fixed.
