I am having the same bug:

Setting up gnome-panel-data (2.20.2-1) ...
rmdir: /var/lib/gnome: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing gnome-panel-data (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Or use things like "if [ -d /etc/gnome-vfs-2.0/vfolders ]; then rmdir
... fi" to only attempt deleting the directory when it exists.
