Bug#713720: gnome-system-tools: FTBFS: ld: main.o: undefined reference to symbol 'g_thread_init'

[David Suárez]

Source: gnome-system-tools
Version: 3.0.0-2
Severity: serious
Tags: jessie sid
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: qa-ftbfs-20130620 qa-ftbfs
Justification: FTBFS on amd64

Hi,

During a rebuild of all packages in sid, your package failed to build on
amd64.

Maybe you need to add explicitly the offending lib to LD flags.
