For some reasons the package is not installable here:

client:/home/blackm# apt-get install gconf2
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package gconf2 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  libgconf2-dev gconf2-common
E: Package gconf2 has no installation candidate
client:/home/blackm# cat /etc/apt/sources.list

deb ftp://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib

Downloading it manualy and install it using dpkg -i ... works...
