Bug Description

gnome-shell does not run without libdconf0 installed; it should have a package dependency on it.

On a lighter note, I'm thinking of coining a term for missing dependencies that work fine because things were developed on a system with everything installed, and not tested on minimal systems like mine ;)

The gnome-shell package in Natty repos is way too old (2.31.5) and should be renewed as soon as possible.
There is version 2.91.3 available right now.
