Bug Description

Binary package hint: unison-gtk

Given the following prf file:
root = /usr/local
root = ssh://mycomputer//usr/local
path = lib/python2.5/site-packages/
ignore = Name *.pyc
key = 2
diff = /usr/bin/meld CURRENT2 CURRENT1

I open unison-gtk and get the error:
Fatal Error
Error scanning profile /home/me/.unison/usr_local.prf:
Value of 'key' preference must be a single digit (0-9), not 2

Obviously 2 is a single digit. This used to work before, looks like a regression.

Using hardy version of 2.27.57-1~hardy1

Just found out more information. The problem is that I had 2 prf files with a key of 2. So the problem is simply that the error message is wrong. It should tell you that there is a conflict in the keys of multiple prf files, not that the preference is not a single digit.
