Package: im-config Severity: important This is a forward of the Ubuntu bug https://launchpad.net/bugs/1101836
The fix of http://bugs.debian.org/701181 meant inserting of a line of code which prevents that /etc/X11/Xsession.d/80im-switch keeps being sourced if the im-switch package is removed but not purged. This is essential for im-config to work correctly. However, if a user who has modified 80im-switch does not update before replacing im-switch with im-config, 80im-switch will keep being sourced and with that affect the im-config functionality adversely. One way to prevent that from happening is to let im-config at installation insert a line as just mentioned into 80im-switch, if it's not there already. Attached please find a modified debian/postinst file which does just that, and which we are about to use in Ubuntu. -- Gunnar Hjalmarsson https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj
