I can confirm this bug myself. It seems that this is a packaging issue, the GSettings scheme isn't compiled with the glib-compile-schemas trigger. However, not everyone is having this bug.
I am using the amd64 version of Ubuntu, just as the reporter. ** Summary changed: - gcalctool crashed with signal 5 in g_object_newv() + glib-compile-schemas trigger not run after installation GCalctool ** Description changed: Binary package hint: gcalctool - Crashes upon startup + Apparently the trigger 'glib-compile-schemas' isn't run after the upgrade of GCalctool, resulting in the applications crashing on start-up because it can't locate its settings schema. + This doesn't happen always.
