From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030703 Description of problem: When I installed the newer gnome-panel package, I received an error from gconftool-2 saying that it didn't recognize the "--load" option. This was because I still had an older version of the GConf2 package, yet the postinstall script was clearly expecting to use a newer gconftool-2 that would take the "--load" option. If the gnome-panel package had a dependency on the newer GConf2 package, I would have known to dowload GConf2 then upgrade both packages simultaneously. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.3.6.2-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Severn. 2. Upgrade to latest gnome-panel in Raw Hide, but do NOT upgrade to latest GConf2. Actual Results: I got a nastygram from gconftool-2 saying it didn't recognize the "--load" option. Expected Results: No nastygrams. Additional info:
