[Bug 314606] Re: ebox and libebox don't support Intrepid gconf version

[Adam Sommer]

SRU Report:

Bug Impact:
This bug is related to bug #255368.  The ebox and libebox packages won't function correctly without the additional gconf_dbus patches.  

Fix in the development branch:
Not yet fixed in Jaunty, but will be soon. The issue is fixed in the eBox PPA: https://launchpad.net/~ebox-unstable/+archive so the problem is fixed upstream.

Minimal Patch:
See dpatch attachment for ebox and the additional attachment for libebox.

Test Case: 
If dpatch 16_add_apache_authcookie.dpatch is applied without the gconf patches for ebox and libebox, ebox will be installable but won't start.  The resulting error:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/ebox restart
Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for information. (Details -  1: Not running within active session) at /usr/share/perl5/EBox/GConfModule.pm line 50.

Regression Potential:
I don't believe there will be any regression based on my testing. Also, the patch is intended to fix a regression that results in a non-working package.

If there is any additional information required please let me know.

Also, see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ebox/+bug/255368/comments/21
for a debdiff of the ebox package containing both the apache-auth-cookie
patch and the gconf-dbus patch.  If needed I can attach the debdiff to
this bug as well.
