Bug Description

As noted here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2152255
GDM 3.8.1.1 depends on dconf-tools when it should depend on dconf-editor, as dconf-tools is a transitional package, for help installing the new split packages dconf-cli and dconf-editor.

Thanks for reporting this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

According to Debian, gdm actually needs dconf-cli instead:

We'll still have ubuntu-gnome-desktop depend on dconf-editor though. I don't know if Ubuntu itself will continue to include dconf-editor or not by default.
