Well, the use case for this is libcanberra-gtk3-module, which depends on gconf2 but not on libgconf2-4. Maybe this is a spurious dependency on gconf2, I didn't question it too closely. > I’ve already had a look at how to multiarchify gconf as a whole, but it > is complicated to do so without reintroducing the circular dependency > between the lib (which should be MA: same) and the daemon (which should > be MA: foreign). > The solution will probably be to statically link the library into the > daemon. If you have any other ideas, please share. Yeah, I don't have any better ideas; that's basically why I haven't proposed a patch to make the library coinstallable, because I didn't see a good way to do it. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
