Package: gdm-settings
Version: 4.4-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

gdm-settings 4.4-1 in trixie/sid, when clicking "Apply", does not ask for a
root password, so settings are not applied. The package libglib2.0-dev needs to
be installed and should be listed as a dependency. Tested on trixie/sid Wayland
on GNOME and labwc (wlroots).

Here is the solution for Ubuntu provided by the upstream maintainer (install
libglib2.0-dev), it worked for me on sid as well...
