Hi there,
gconf's headers contains functions which refer to types that are
deprecated in GLib 2.62. For example, gconf's autopkgtest starts failing
due to this:

I wrote a patch to turn off these warnings - since it's not really
possible to fix as that would be an API break - and forwarded it
upstream. I was about to upload to Debian and then I noticed that gconf
isn't pkg-gnome any more.
