That looks OK to me; I have the same versions and I can run update-gconf-defaults without problems.

Just to clarify this once more: Your main problem is the gconftool-2 issue, which seems to break all package scripts which call this tool. Using apt-get in between only caused a minor temporary problem with aptitude's database, from which aptitude recovered on its own AFAICT.

Do you need help?X

Yes, this seems to be the root of all evil at the moment.

gzopen64 should be defined in /usr/lib/libz.so.1; something is wrong with this on your system. Post the output of the following commands:

dpkg -l zlib1g

ldd /usr/bin/gconftool-2 | grep libz

ldd /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 | grep libz

nm -D /usr/lib/libz.so.1 | grep gzopen64
