gtkpod is missing its gconf schema

Ubuntu 12.04 x64 with gtkpod/libgtkpod1/gtkpod-data 2.1.1-1

The program is near unusable, trying to access the preferences crashes the program, as does selecting a folder of files to copy:

patrick@gnubuntu:~$ gtkpod

GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.gtkpod' does not contain a key named 'disable_splash_screen'
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)
patrick@gnubuntu:~$ gconftool-2 -R /schemas | grep gtkpod
patrick@gnubuntu:~$ gconftool-2 --install-schema-file=/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gtkpod.gschema.xml
Document `/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gtkpod.gschema.xml' has the wrong type of root node (<schemalist>, should be <gconfschemafile>)
patrick@gnubuntu:~$

I really don't know what I am doing, but shouldn't that schema be in the gconf?
