[Bug 82041] pre-removal script returns code 127

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: libgnomeui-common

I have installed Firestarter under Kubuntu Edgy, but after I decided to
remove it. In the meantime I did not installed anything. The packages
installed as dependencies for firestarter were these:

libavahi-glib1 0.6.13-2ubuntu2.4, gconf2 2.16.0-0ubuntu1, gnome-mime-data 2.4.2-2, shared-mime-info 0.18-0ubuntu1, libgnomevfs2-common 2.16.1-0ubuntu4, libgnome2-common 2.16.0-0ubuntu1, libgnomecanvas2-common 2.14.0-3ubuntu1, libgnomecanvas2-0 2.14.0-3ubuntu1, libbonoboui2-common 2.16.0-0ubuntu1, gnome-keyring 0.6.0-0ubuntu2, libgnome-keyring0 0.6.0-0ubuntu2, libgnomeui-common 2.16.1-0ubuntu2, libgtop2-common 2.14.4-0ubuntu1.1, libgtop2-7 2.14.4-0ubuntu1.1, libgksu2-0 1.9.8-1ubuntu4, gksu 1.9.3-1ubuntu2, gamin 0.1.7-3ubuntu2
libbonobo2-common 2.16.0-0ubuntu1, libgamin0 0.1.7-3ubuntu2, libgnomevfs2-0 2.16.1-0ubuntu4, libbonobo2-0 2.16.0-0ubuntu1, libgnome2-0 2.16.0-0ubuntu1, libbonoboui2-0 2.16.0-0ubuntu1, libgnomeui-0 2.16.1-0ubuntu2, firestarter 1.0.3-1.2ubuntu3

I selected them one-by-one in adept, then clicked apply, and I get an
error for libgnomeui-common.

I have received the following error (also if running apt-get remove libgnomeui-common)
Removing: libgnomeui-common ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libgnomeui-common.prerm: 6: gconf-schemas: not found
dpkg: wrong processing: libgnomeui-common (--remove):
 pre-removal script subprocess exited with code 127
(translated from Hungarian)

The strange thing is that even apt-get autoremove selects libgnomeui-
common to be removed.

** Affects: libgnomeui (Ubuntu)
