Title:
Move GConf depends to a seperate binary
Status in pidgin package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in pidgin package in Debian:
New
Bug description:
Currently, gconf on pidgin is only used to retrieve proxy settings
from GNOME. It puts an hard depends on gconf, even if pidgin is used
on a non-gnome environment. Also, it seems that this feature may be
broken (see LP #878032 and https://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/13867).
The included debdiff move away the gconf files to a pidgin-gnome
binary, so people not using GNOME can remove the gconf depends.
