Details

The native Linux version of Dawn of War 2 requires gconf from AUR to be installed in order to run with Steam-native.

Trying to launch the game without gconf installed will cause the game to complain about missing the file: libgconf-2.so.4

I suppose the gconf package should be a dependency of the steam-native-runtime package because of this.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  gconf is deprecated, and the game runs fine with steam's own runtime

Considering that gconf is deprecated and Arch actively wanted to get rid of it, I believe this should be closed. Steam's own runtime has the required libraries and the game runs fine when not using native runtime.

I suppose this is up to the maintainers, but I don't think Arch should strive to have every deprecated library just to be able to run all steam games with native runtime, because of this I will request closure of this bugreport.
