BEGING BUG REPORT
===============

When apt tries to configure I get

Setting up gnomemeeting (1.0.2-5) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/gnomemeeting.postinst: line 15: 13291 Segmentation
fault      HOME=/root GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE=`gconftool-2
--get-default-source` gconftool-2 --makefile-install-rule
$SCHEMA_LOCATION/$SCHEMA >/dev/null
dpkg: error processing gnomemeeting (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 139
 Errors were encountered while processing:
  gnomemeeting
  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


I tried reinstalling and everything, but this seems a bug in the
postinst.
