Thanks to caspar luc's advise my system is now back to normal. Got the package from here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/gnome/gnome-settings-daemon-schemas and installed it using: "dpkg --force-overwrite -i gnome-settings-daemon-schemas_3.8.6.1-0ubuntu11_all.deb"
After a few upgrades and dist-upgrades I had a smooth running Ubuntu GNOME 14.04. I tried to remove unity, gnome compiz etc. to no avail. Aptitude's solution was to remove gdm, gnome-shell etc. which was not what I wanted to do. Synaptic was unable to fix things. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1278863 Title: package gnome-settings-daemon-schemas (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: tentative de remplacement de « /usr/share/GConf/gsettings/gnome-settings-daemon.convert », qui appartient aussi au paquet gnome-settings-daemon 3.10.2-0ubuntu1~saucy6 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1278863/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
