Looks strange... Is this still valid with GPK 3.2?

[Expired for gnome-packagekit (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

I can confirm this bug with gnome-packagekit 3.4 on Ubuntu 12.04. When I try to run gpk-prefs, I get this error:

gpk-prefs:10479): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.updates' is not installed

Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

gnome-settings-daemon needs to build-depend on libpackagekit-glib2-dev and not disable packagekit in debian/rules.

[Matthias Klumpp (ximion)]

GSD has to ship the settings-schema required by other tools, at least. Even if they don't enable the plugin.
Marking this as duplicate of the bug I filed against GSD to include the missing piece. (Unfortunately, Canonical-Policy is in they way, once again)
