gnome-display-properties needs a newer version oflibgnome-desktop-2.so.17

[Carl A Joslin]

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

I ran gnome-display-properties and got the following error
gnome-display-properties: symbol lookup error: gnome-display-properties: undefined symbol: gnome_rr_labeler_show

Upgrading libgnome-desktop-2-17 fixed the problem
Preparing to replace libgnome-desktop-2-17 1:2.32.0-0ubuntu1 (using .../libgnome-desktop-2-17_1%3a2.32.1-0ubuntu5_i386.deb)

It would seem the the depends of gnome-control-center are wrong.

Thank you for your bug report but the depends are correct you rather have a local installation hijacking the distribution one, can you run ldd `which gnome-display-properties` and copy the log there?
