Sorry about not keeping up on this, had to give up the system this was happening as a loaner for a little bit.
I'm attaching the last term.log file where this was failing. I finally got around it by looking at the installed gconf stuff to come up with this: dpkg --purge --force-depends libgconf-2.4 libgconf-2.6-1c2 libgconf2.0-cil libgconf2-4 gconf-service-backend gconf-service gconf- defaults-service gconf2-common gconf2 : after that I was able to do 'apt-get -f install' and the necessarry gconf stuff was pulled in and installed correctly. ** Attachment added: "term.log.1.gz" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gconf/+bug/948294/+attachment/3074198/+files/term.log.1.gz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gconf in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/948294 Title: package gconf2 3.2.3-3ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 250 Status in “gconf” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Recieved this error after upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04 beta 1 32 bit ProblemType: Package DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: gconf2 3.2.3-3ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-18.28-generic 3.2.9 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-18-generic i686 NonfreeKernelModules: wl ApportVersion: 1.94-0ubuntu2 Architecture: i386 Date: Tue Mar 6 11:46:17 2012 ErrorMessage: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 250 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Beta i386 (20110330) SourcePackage: gconf Title: package gconf2 3.2.3-3ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 250 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to precise on 2012-03-06 (0 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gconf/+bug/948294/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
