Have you noticed any breakages from upgrading gconf2?

I have followed your example and also installed abiword, as well as the newer version of gnumeric from squeeze, thus upgrading gconf2 in the process. Everything works fine as far as I can see.

The only trouble I had was that the top panel in LXDE needed to be restored, but I don't know whether that had anything to do with the upgrade, since lxde wasn't upgraded.

For some reason the manual recreation of the top panel changed the icon for the menu that qole had provided. Since I didn't know how to fix that manually, I ended up restoring the directory /home/user/.config/lxpanel from a backup that I had made fortunately at one point.

So my recommendation for anybody playing around with similar upgrades is to backup their Debian image as well as /home/user/.config. At least the latter doesn't cost much space.

EDIT: Meanwhile I noticed some breakages from upgrading gconf2. Evince starts with an error saying that its configuration was broken. So I de-installed abiword, and reverted back to gconf2 from lenny, which was a bit messy. For the record, I had to do

Code:

apt-get install abiword- gnumeric-
dpkg --force-depends -r gconf2 gconf2-common libgconf2-4

then changed /etc/apt/sources.list to point to lenny and no longer squeeze, then

Code:

apt-get install gconf2
apt-get -f install
apt-get autoremove
apt-get install gnumeric

(gnumeric is de-installed and re-installed, because it was giving problems with the de- and re-installation of gconf2.)
