I filed this upstream: https://sourceforge.net/p/ini4j/bugs/47/

There's not much I can do on Fedora-side without making changes incompatible with upstream.

This patch doesn't look right at all.

It breaks existing code that expects a String as a result of remove():

String result = BasicProfile.remove("section", "key");

Sadly, there's no way around this compatibility problem. But this change needs to be made consistently.

Also, the updated version of remove() no longer removes anything.

I pushed a slight variant of the Debian fix. I am still not sure if it's the right thing.
