[Bug 74699] Re: update-schemas: Error writing file "/var/lib/gconf/defaults/%gconf-tree.xml.new": File exists

[Sam Hathaway]

Ok, here's my workaround. This results in output identical to the output
of the non-patched gconf on you working system. It probably just masks
the real problem, though.

So what changed to cause local_schema->long_desc to be defined but point
to an empty string? Who knows? The schema files are the same on the
working and non-working system. All the packages that are installed on
both systems are at the same version (except ssh, which I patched to
include sftp logging).
