Subject: GLib-GObject-WARNING **: g_object_set_valist: construct property "sm-connect" for object `GnomeProgram' can't be set

Date: Mon, 24 May 2004 20:53:01 +0200

Package: debconf
Version: 1.4.25
Severity: normal

When I install packages or run dpkg-reconfigure I get messages like these:

GLib-GObject-WARNING **: g_object_set_valist: construct property "sm-connect" for object `GnomeProgram' can't be set after construction at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Gnome.pm line 47.

I just tried dpkg-reconfiguring a package.  After getting this message
(twice, with different line numbers) I _do_ get a GNOME debconf window
which seems to function correctly, so this may not be a serious problem.

I'm not sure that this is debconf's fault.  Please reassign if necessary.

This problem went away after I upgraded some GNOME packages.

I upgraded from sarge to sid.  Unfortunately I don't know what
actually fixed the problem.

This bug shouldn't have been closed then, but tagged "sarge". I hit the
same bug, after having removed most GNOME 1.4 packages still lying
around, I think.
