Details

Description:
Chromium has a dependency on gconf as compiled, but upstream has merged in a patch from Gentoo that removes this dependency. Since gconf is being deprecated anyway in favor of gsettings, there isn't much benefit to keeping the gconf dependency.

Additional info:
Link to patch from Nov 2010: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=13322
The page above shows the relevant patches to this.
Tested on Chromium 10.0.648.204-1

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install the package on an install without gnome. It will attempt to install gconf.
2. Attempting a pacman -Sdd install of chromium (with the non-gconf dependencies) fails, as well. "error while loading shared libraries: libgconf-2.so.4: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory"
This task depends upon
