[Bug 74699] Re: update-schemas: Error writing file "/var/lib/gconf/defaults/%gconf-tree.xml.new": File exists

[Sam Hathaway]

I remembered what initially caused the problem on my original
installation. The first time I saw the error was after downgrading totem
(and totem-gstreamer) from 1.4.3-0ubuntu1 to 1.4.1-0ubuntu4. I did this
because the totem browser plugin wasn't available for 1.4.3-0ubuntu1.

Re-upgrading totem and totem-gstreamer didn't fix it.

Likewise, reversing the evince upgrade that caused it on this
installation doesn't fix it either.
