Hi Lubos,
using the very handy debian tool, apt-file, I determined that
'gconf-schemas' is in the 'gconf2' package. This may need to be
installed, if it is not and it maybe needed to be added as a package
dependency. This warrants a bug report. Both grace and grace6 do not
mention this. This could be a dependency bug with both of them or with
one of its dependencies. Also, you can examine the file
/var/lib/dpkg/info/grace.postinst and /var/lib/dpkg/info/grace6.postinst
and look at the line number mentioned in the error above. This will
allow you to see the exact line that caused the error, assuming that you
can understand the programming language that it is written (usually bash
or perl).
Cheers,
Kev
