Package: dconf-tools
Version: 0.10.0-3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
When using the command line dconf utility to read key values using the
'read'
or 'dump' command, international characters such as Å, Ä and Ö are printed
as a question mark (?) instead. This causes data loss in dconf if you first
dump part of or the entire dconf to a file (e.g. for backup purposes)
and then
later expect to restore it using 'dconf load'. Here's an example:
$ dconf read /org/gnome/deja-dup/exclude-list
['/home/anton/.local/share/Trash', '/home/anton/H?mtningar',
'/home/anton/dump', '/home/anton/tmp', '/home/anton/VirtualBox VMs',
'/home/anton/Video', '/home/anton/.cache', '/home/anton/Musik',
'/home/anton/Publikt', '/home/anton/pbuilder', '/home/anton/.thumbnails',
'/home/anton/Dropbox', '/home/anton/.ccache',
'/home/anton/.wine/drive_c/users/anton/Lokala
inst?llningar/Programdata/Spotify/Storage', '/home/anton/??????']
The real value of that key is:
['/home/anton/.local/share/Trash', '/home/anton/Hämtningar',
'/home/anton/dump', '/home/anton/tmp', '/home/anton/VirtualBox VMs',
'/home/anton/Video', '/home/anton/.cache', '/home/anton/Musik',
'/home/anton/Publikt', '/home/anton/pbuilder', '/home/anton/.thumbnails',
'/home/anton/Dropbox', '/home/anton/.ccache',
'/home/anton/.wine/drive_c/users/anton/Lokala
inställningar/Programdata/Spotify/Storage', '/home/anton/ÅÄÖåäö']
