Package: gucharmap
Version: 1:1.4.3-2
Severity: serious
Justification: Replaces conffile from another package, wiping any customisation

The postinst contains this line:

  # Hopefully GTK+ upstream will do something about this sillyness
  gtk-query-immodules-2.0 > /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules

This is rather rude.  Wiping out a conffile from another package is
not nice.

Why is gucharmap doing this?  It's no different from any other GTK+
application WRT immodules, and certainly has no business doing this.


Regards,
Roger
