Drop unnecessary gconf dependency

[Jeremy Bícha]

Hi, we'd eventually like to get rid of gconf from the default Ubuntu and Ubuntu GNOME installs. I think it's definitely doable by 14.04 or at least by 14.10 if we work at it. I haven't been able to find a .manifest or germinate output for Ubuntu Phone but I'm guessing gconf is neither needed nor wanted there.

It looks like qtlocation only depends on geoclue because it things geoclue uses it. However, geoclue 0.12.99 (included in Quantal and up) uses gsettings not gconf.[1] Therefore I don't think that part of the qtlocation code even works.

The upstream sources src/plugins/position/geoclue/qgeopositioninfosource_geocluemaster.cpp seem to use gconf directly (slightly) :( and also require it via geoclue.pro

Ok, let's try now:

Jeremy, thanks for the link!

This dependency is now dropped in Qt 5.6.1 packages in Debian unstable, so this will be fixed in Ubuntu when we get Qt 5.6 merged.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package qtlocation-opensource-src - 5.6.1-2ubuntu1~1
