Well, fwiw, here is how I solved the problem The version I had installed was libgnomeui_common_2.20.0_0ubuntu1. For some reason, the removal script was trying to do a gconf-schema /usr/share/gconf/schemas/libgnomeui-apport-gtk.schema. The problem is that libgnomeui-apport-gtk.schemas has been removed since libgnomeui-2.19.1-0ubuntu1.
So I downloaded libgnomeui-2.19.0-0ubuntu1, cp'ed libgnomeui-apport-gtk and all went well. Not very clean, but I didn't find any better way I still think that having the removal script of libgnomeui_common_2.20.0_0ubuntu1 looking for a file which didn't exist anymore since a previous version looks like a bug, but who am I to tell ? -- libgnomeui-common_2.20.1-0ubuntu1 won't install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/156555 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for libgnomeui in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
