Among them is gconf2-common, which fails like follows: Setting up gconf2-common (2.10.1-3) ... Creating config file /etc/gconf/2/path with new version cp: cannot create regular file /etc/gconf/2/path': No such file or directory dpkg: error processing gconf2-common (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 The directory /etc/gconf/2 does not exist. I suppose it is created by some other gnome package which I have not installed and which is not pulled in by a dependency, so this might be a problem in the dependency definition.
