Uninstalling gnome-settings-daemon and gstreamer-010-gst-plugins-ugly and then doing: sudo port install gstreamer010-gst-plugins-ugly and then installing gnome-settings-daemon again went without error. But then the error was reproduced again when doing sudo port upgrade outdated.

Instead, users should be able to do sudo port upgrade outdated without error.

w$ port -v
MacPorts 2.2.1
