Same problem. gconftool-2 failing

Two things:

1) I'm not running gnome

2) Turns out that gconftool-2 doesn't work as root, which is where the install happens. It does run as 'user'.

Don't have a solution though.

Update:

The issue is in postinst where these commands are run.

gconftool-2 --set --type=string /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/magnet/command 'tixati "%s"'
gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/magnet/enabled true
gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/magnet/need-terminal false
gconftool-2 --set --type=string /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/dsc/command 'tixati "%s"'
gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/dsc/enabled true
gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/dsc/need-terminal false

These are only relevant on a Gnome system. They cause install to fail partially on others. I run XFCE.

apt-get install says the .deb is not installed due to this failure. The binary is however in place.

It also causes the gconftool-2 errors to show up every time apt-get install is run which is painful.

Conditional running of these commands would resolve the problem.

Same problem with KDE

This problem still affects Tixati 2.53-1 and KDE Neon (Ubuntu 16.04 + the KDE repository).

Just run:

apt-get install gconf2

and after that run:

apt-get -f install

(run all this commands with priviledges sudo or root)

This fixed this issue with my laptop. By the way... I use the last Ubuntu 17.10 with gnome.

I have gconf2 installed but however have this issue if running APT from root instead of sudo.
