Bug Description
Binary package hint: ebox
ebox and libebox use gconf to hold configuration information, and the gconf version in Intrepid uses dbus to access the gconf database.
The versions of ebox and libebox in Intrepid do not account for this change, and thus there is a severe regression from Hardy to Intrepid.

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: /launchpad. net/~ebox- unstable/ +archive so the problem is fixed upstream.
Not yet fixed in Jaunty, but will be soon. The issue is fixed in the eBox PPA: https:/
Minimal Patch:
See dpatch attachment for ebox and the additional attachment for libebox.
Test Case: apache_ authcookie. dpatch is applied without the gconf patches for ebox and libebox, ebox will be installable but won't start. The resulting error:
If dpatch 16_add_
$ sudo /etc/init.d/ebox restart www.gnome. org/projects/ gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Not running within active session) at /usr/share/ perl5/EBox/ GConfModule. pm line 50.
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://
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.
