Bug#267121: gnome-control-center: this is an unspecified
prerequisite for GNOME2

Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:2.4.0-4
Severity: normal
If GNOME2 is installed, but gnome-control-center isn't then (which is
quite legal regarding satisfying dependencies), and /etc/init.d/gdm is
start'ed and then an attempt as anybody to login is made, then the following
error message appears:
The was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon.
Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work
correctly.
The last error message was:
Failed to activate 'OAFIID:GNOME_SettingsDaemon'
GNOME will still try to start the Settings Daemon next time you log in.
I realise that saying 'if GNOME2 is installed' is pretty meaningless,
but I am no expert in GNOME architecture/packaking and cannot be more
specific. However, what I can do is include a complete list of packages
installed on the system; which is not so big as this is a very freshly
installed system. I've had to set COLUMNS=150 in order than package
names and versions are not chopped, so excuse the very long lines.
Here it is:

It is the installation of gnome-control-center and this package alone
that will result in the disappearance of this error message. I.e.
With the above list of packages installed the error message does
not occur. Deinstall gnome-control-center and it will occur.
So ... basically, something in the above list has an dependency on
gnome-control-center, which it has failed to specify. I *know* its
not gnome-control-center's fault, but I hope you agree that flagging
the bug - even against the wrong package - is better than not flagging
it at all.
*Please* don't just close the bug ... otherwise I'll feel so dispirited,
I'll never bother reporting another bug again! ;-) Just reassign it
to some other package that is closer to the real problem. If enough
people do that then it will find its way to the right place. You *can*
reassign bugs to different packages, right?
Let me know if you need any more info ...
