Whattup!

I've gotten this warning when upgrading today:

WARNING: Failed to parse default value `' for schema (/schemas/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/indicator/fontSize)

Any idea what it means?

that means that the schema provided by libgnomekbd is not valid and should be report upstream. nothing critical

oh ok. What do you mean by "report upstream"? report this warning to the maintainers of libgnomekbd ?

Upstream = the developers (usually not members of Arch) of the original package.

By "the maintainers" people usually mean the members of Arch who watch the upstream development and package up new releases when they become available.

If a bug looks like it's a problem with the files were compiled or packaged, report it to the Arch maintainers. In a case like this, where it's known to be a bug with the upstream development, you should send the bug report to those developers. (Email them or better, google their bugtracker and post a bug report there.) You can notify the Arch maintainer of the bug report if you like, or if you're not sure whether it's a packaging bug.

Looks like a bug has already been reported on this and fixed:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=615077

So we just have to wait for the package to trickle down, I guess.
