2020-04-23 14:55:06 Philip Armstrong description Running update-manager -p today just before the release of focal fossa, the install halted during package configuration with a gconf2.0 crash. I had to dismiss about 30 dialogs before the install completed, each exactly the same. I run stock ubuntu, except that I use the standard Gnome desktop instead of the Ubuntu unity Gnome variant. The machine in question has been upgraded from 18.04 to 19.10 & now to 20.04 Since this package is now marked as only required for legacy applications, perhaps it needs removing?
