Thanks, Paul PS: Unfortunately I did not get all responses. To keep threading people could use `bts show --mbox 648673` from package `devscripts` to import the messages from the report and reply explicitly to a message their also ensuring correct threading. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

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.
Evolution does not find its configuration data either and throws error
messages and starts with the new configuration dialog.

I hope people have `apt-listbugs` installed. I saw this bug but thought
Evolution will not be affected.
Evince also throws some errors but missing configuration data is not so
grave.

Luckily downgrading using the following command solved this issue for
me.
$ sudo aptitude install gconf2{,-common}=2.32.4-1 gir1.2-gconf-2.0=2.32.4-1
{gconf-defaults-service,libgconf2-4,libgconf2-dev}=2.32.4-1
Thanks,
Paul

An easy workaround seems to kill all the gconfd-2 (killall gconfd-2) and let the daemon respawn automatically. This is probably related to the Orbit - dbus change.
