[jadtech]

since it seems there is dependency issues you should try this


sudo apt-get upgrade -f


this should build a dependancy list down load what is need and install ..

[zvacet]

sudo dpkg --configure gconf2

[jackal_79]

sudo dpkg --configure gconf2

On running above command i got this"

sudo dpkg --configure gconf2
