Bug#648673: gconf2: GConf Error in Emacs and Liferea (D-BUS error)

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: gconf2
Version: 3.2.3-1
Severity: grave

After the gconf2 upgrade, I get the following error when I run Emacs:

GConf Error: Configuration server couldn't be contacted: D-BUS error: Method "GetDefaultDatabase" with signature "" on interface "org.gnome.GConf.Server" doesn't exist

There doesn't seem to be any serious problem with Emacs, though.

Ditto with Liferea, but this is more serious, as the configuration
is not read.
