Congratulations.
I had more time than I expected so I installed gconf from source today.
Then I found out that gconftool was hanging after calling some function
in libglib2.
After installing a newer version of libglib2 (it was 2.4.2.1 and now it
is 2.4.5-2) all was well again. So it was either a bug in an old libglib version or a dependency that was too loose.
I've filed
http://bugs.debian.org/265659 to get things tightened up in the future.
But I'm happy now and because noone else experienced the problem, it is probably not worth investigating any further.
I've adjusted the status of this report; we can rebuild gconf once glib's dependency information has been tightened.
Regards,
Ray
