Bug Description

I use unity-control-center instead of gnome-control-center, but activity-log-manager depends on libgnome-control-center1 and forces me to install a package I don't need.

The dependency should instead be
libunity-control-center1 (>= 14.04.0) | libgnome-control-center1 (>= 1:2.91.2)

With https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/activity-log-manager/0.9.7-0ubuntu14.1, I can remove libgnome-control-center1 without removing activity-log-manager.

$ apt list activity-log-manager libgnome-control-center1

This bug was fixed in the package activity-log-manager - 0.9.7-0ubuntu14.1

---------------
activity-log-manager (0.9.7-0ubuntu14.1) trusty; urgency=medium

  * debian/control: Remove libgnome-control-center-dev BD. This was broken
    (OnlyShowIn=Unity instead of GNOME), and isn't wanted in GNOME anyway.
    Keeping it there results in duplicate 'Security & Privacy' icons if you
    have gnome-control-center installed. (LP: #1363721)
