Bug#593849: debian #593849 makes machines with 256MiB of RAM fail

Tue Jan 11 00:15:02 UTC 2011

i'm seeing the same behavior (oom-killer invoked) on a machine with
256MiB of RAM if no swap is loaded.

without swap, the following command fails because of gconf's postinst
script, which calls gconf-schemas --register-all --no-signal:

 aptitude install gnome-desktop

if i add a bunch of swap, i can get away with it.

It would be a shame to have to give up on gnome for systems with 256MiB
RAM and no swap :(
