Whenever I install an application using sudo apt-get install application, I am getting the following error in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Even though I get the error, the installation of the applcation I try to install succeeds. How to I fix these errors?

  • run command apt-get -f install then try to install these packages . lets know your problem is resolved or not – pl_rock Aug 22 '15 at 05:37
  • configure un-configured packages by sudo dpkg --configure -a and try again. – Ron Aug 22 '15 at 05:40
  • apt-get -f install did not help. The output of sudo dpkg --configure -a is pasted in the question. Any clue what is happening? – softwarematter Aug 22 '15 at 06:03
  • the best option usually work is to reinstall those packages by one like this: sudo apt-get remove --purge pidgin and then sudo apt-get install pidgin you can firstly purge those unconfigured pkgs and then install them back by one... – JoKeR Aug 22 '15 at 06:23

/var/lib/dpkg/info/gconf2.postinst: line 81: gconf-schemas: command not found

so lets see what package contains the missing gconf-schemas

apt-file search gconf-schemas

shows us

gconf2: /usr/sbin/gconf-schemas           
gconf2: /usr/share/man/man8/gconf-schemas.8.gz

so just install it

sudo apt-get install gconf2

sudo apt-get remove xrdp
