Hi Manoj.
As i wrote in the original bug report, this bug is raised not only by
gconf2-common, but also by other packages.
the bug appeared the first time after an ucf upgrade, upgrading
gconf2-common, but after that also libpaper1 and foomatic-filters
showned the postinst errors

also note that commenting out from the postinst script the line that
call ucf, completly remove the errors

also note that in gcon2-common.postinst there are only the following
two rows:

----
set -e
ucf /usr/share/gconf/default.path /etc/gconf/2/path
----

many thanks

Max
