gdm3 depends on ubuntu--gnome-default-settings but is not listed as such in 16.04

[kayandus]

I have installed gdm3 (Version: 3.18.3-0ubuntu2) on a fully upgraded 16.04, but only got a black screen when running it.

I figured out installing ubuntu-gnome-default-settings (16.04.4) solves the problem.

Looking further into the issue, removing '/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/20_ubuntu-gnome-default-settings.gschema.override' and recompiling the schemas reintroduced the problem. So it seems gdm3 depends on this file.

I guess this will solve #1571227

At least on my laptop. this changes nothing - with or without this file, the GDM3 problem remains.
I have still no clue, and I so want a GDM3 developer to show us some love... but we will have to stay patient, it seems.
