Description Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev

gnome2-python bindings are dead and obsolete for years... sooner or later they will be removed. I have read in ebuild that gconf-python is supposedly needed for cinnamon-settings. Is that still the case? Is the dependency mandatory or optional? If still needed, do you know about any bug report to upstream telling about this issue to know the progress on getting rid of this? (and also to show them the problem)

Thanks

Duplicate of #636928 ?

Upstream dropped gconf some time ago, see pull-request:
https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/pull/5804

Dependencies on gconf and gconf-python can be safely removed (tested on amd64 stable, cinnamon-3.6 from official portage).
