this bug were causing a lot of packages to give configuration errors
anyway my system was working without problem
so i commented out all lines in gconf2-common.postinst.
this fixed all other package error.
anyway at the moment i can't figure the cause of this bug, and if this
may be cause other problems in the future...

i tried to reinstall the package after cleaning the cache, and the
problem raised again...
