Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gconf2
On my latest upgrade in Hardy, several package installs have failed due
apparently to bugs in gconftool-2 and gtk-update-icon-cache. If I now
try to remove these packages, I get the following error:
# dpkg --purge compiz-gnome
dpkg: error processing compiz-gnome (--purge):
Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
reinstall it before attempting a removal.
Errors were encountered while processing:
compiz-gnome
Of course I can not install the package either, since that install
failed in the first place. I've attached a log of some failures in the
update process which show backtraces from gconftool-2 and gtk-update-
icon-cache.
