Well it seems that you're missing a file called gnomeConf.sh a quick
search at:
http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages
http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=gnomeconf.sh&searchmode=searchfiles&case=insensitive&version=testing&arch=i386

reveals that this file is in the package libgnome-dev:
http://packages.debian.org/testing/libdevel/libgnome-dev.html

Try installing that and see if it helps. If anything else breaks
just post a followup...
