[Bug 829778] [NEW] Breaks everything because of an API break in glib

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson):

This package is still installed on my system from an earlier Ubuntu
version (maverick?). However, it ships a gio extension point which uses
an API recently removed from glib, and subsequently prevents everything
using glib from starting (which is basically everything), due to the
following error:

symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgiowncksync.so: undefined
symbol: g_desktop_app_info_launch_handler_get_type

This should be dropped from the archive, and we need to remove it on
upgrade to oneiric too
