Hi,=20

Could you provide some details ? Are you sure that the /etc dir has been
deleted by gconf2 ?

The postrm command used on purge is:
"rmdir -p --ignore-fail-on-non-empty /etc/gconf/2" ... this only removes
empty dirs, /etc was empty on your box ?=20

I'm changing the severity to important for the moment, this problem is
not reproducible.


Thanks,
