Bug#711065: d-conf: 0.16.0-3 breaks whole GNOME

[Christoph Anton Mitterer]

Source: d-conf
Version: 0.16.0-3
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software


Hi.

Seems that today's upgrades of dconf, breakt the whole system.
When logging out, gdm get's crazy and restarts itself forever.
also gvfsd and it's *-volume-monitor start like 10 times at once (whole process
list is full with it.

Downgrading/reinstalling these:
[INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] libdconf0:amd64
[DOWNGRADE] dconf-gsettings-backend:amd64 0.16.0-3 -> 0.12.1-3
[DOWNGRADE] dconf-service:amd64 0.16.0-3 -> 0.12.1-3
[DOWNGRADE] dconf-tools:amd64 0.16.0-3 -> 0.12.1-3
[DOWNGRADE] gir1.2-panelapplet-4.0:amd64 3.4.2.1-5 -> 3.4.2.1-4
[DOWNGRADE] gnome-panel:amd64 3.4.2.1-5 -> 3.4.2.1-4
[DOWNGRADE] gnome-panel-data:amd64 3.4.2.1-5 -> 3.4.2.1-4
[DOWNGRADE] libdconf-dev:amd64 0.16.0-3 -> 0.12.1-3
[DOWNGRADE] libdconf-doc:amd64 0.16.0-3 -> 0.12.1-3
[DOWNGRADE] libpanel-applet-4-0:amd64 3.4.2.1-5 -> 3.4.2.1-4
[DOWNGRADE] libpanel-applet-4-dev:amd64 3.4.2.1-5 -> 3.4.2.1-4

and the problem goes away.
