Your system is OK, except for the fact that there is a non-Debian
libz.so.1 in /usr/local/lib/. Wherever this file came from, it does not
implement the gzopen64 function which is needed by gconftool-2. Your
problem will persist as long as the linker gives precedence to
/usr/local/lib/libz.so.1.

Same as above: You need to see /usr/lib/libz.so.1 here (no "/local/").

I don't think you did anything so far. ("/sbin/ldconfig -pNX" is a
diagnostic command; I was trying to tell you how to check which
locations are known for the libz library.)

The main issue seems to be the gconftool-2 problem. Whenever you call
aptitude it will first try to fix the broken packages and it will
continue to fail until the libz.so.1 issue is addressed.

AFAICT, your only two problems are /usr/local/lib/libz.so.1 and
/usr/local/lib/libz.so. My problem is that I don't know why these files
are on your system, therefore I am hesitant to tell you to delete or
rename them, because this might break other things.
In my opinion you have three options:
1) Tells us exactly how and why these /usr/local/lib/ files got on your
system. We might be able to figure out what the safest approach is if
we know that.
2) Read up on the basics of linking and shared libraries, then make an
informed decision yourself after you fully understand the present
problem.
3) Remove or rename the /usr/local/lib/libz.so* files, run "ldconfig"
(as root, without any arguments or options), make sure that "ldd
/usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 | grep libz" shows /usr/lib/libz.so.1 will be
used, and run "aptitude install -f".
