Bug#293711: libgtk2.0-bin: fails to configure

[Blars Blarson]

Package: libgtk2.0-bin
Version: 2.6.1-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

After fixing a bug in dpkg-preconfigure, I find that libgtk2.0-bin
still cannot be configured:

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B of archives.
After unpacking 0B of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

Some errors occurred while unpacking. I'm going to configure the
packages that were installed. This may result in duplicate errors
or errors caused by missing dependencies. This is OK, only the errors
above this message are important. Please fix them and run [I]nstall again
