You've purged only this one ? Do you remember which version of the
package it was ?

I've just tried in a fresh pbuilder, no problem ...

Can you still reproduce the problem ?

Yes, I don't understand where is the problem, but that's not a gconf
problem ... if "rmdir -p --ignore-fail-on-non-empty /etc/gconf/2" wants
to remove /etc you have a problem but that with coreutils, not gconf.
