Hi, As explained here (http://lists.debian.org/debian-ia64/2011/03/msg00017.html), this issue isn't due to a code change in gnome-settings-daemon, but to a change in the flags passed to ld by the debian/rules build script of the gnome-settings-daemon source package.
Simply removing -Wl,-z,defs from the LDFLAGS of the debian/rules script produces a working gnome-settings-daemon binary. This has been checked with current gnome-settings-daemon-2.30.2-2 and gnome-settings-daemon-2.24.1-1 (first broken release). Cross-testing by adding this flag to gnome-settings-daemon-2.22.2.1-2 (last working release) produces a broken binary, proving that -z defs flag is the culprit. What's unclear to me: - is this ld issue specific to gnome-settings-daemon? In this case, please keep this bug report open as current gnome-settings-daemon 2.30.2-2 is still broken (and I bet that simply removing -Wl,-z,defs from the LDFLAGS of the debian/rules script is not the right way to fix it as all architectures will be affected by this change) - does this ld issue also affect other packages? I've open bug report #620874 to track it in this case (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=620874).
