Bug#697492: libgtk2.0-bin: missing "multiarch: foreign" gtk-query-immodules-2.0, command

[Osamu Aoki]

Hi, (I am surprised...)

I think we may have some misunderstandings.

I am not saying that gtk-query-immodules is normally run automatically
by maintainer script.  I agree that is the most popular usage.  You
seems to dismiss this bug report based on this fact only.

But if you carefully read my previous postings excluding some minor
deficiencies, you can see that there were occasions when this command
was used to list installed immodules for checking system configuration
by the user per request of upstream package maintainer of IM system as I
reported.  Debian does not put symlink of this command in $PATH.

If you are dismissing me stating my reported usage case is pedantically
awkward corner case, it makes some sense.  But your message was strange
to me.

Since this is a minor bug, I do not insist more.  But I post here for
the record to make sure there remains no misunderstandings.

I have no argument against this tool is mostly used for that usage.

Just because this automatic usage is popular should not be the reason to
block other usage which upstream IM package developer sometimes ask to
use for trouble shooting the system.
