(Reading database ... 22003 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace gconf2 2.16.0-1osso15 (using gconf2_2.16.0-1osso15_armel.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement gconf2 ...
Setting up gconf2 (2.16.0-1osso15) ...
chmod: /var/lib/gconf/apps/modest/server_accounts/GmailID_store/%gconf.xml: Input/output error
dpkg: error processing gconf2 (--install):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
gconf2
It seems like the file /var/lib/gconf/apps/modest/server_accounts/gmailID_store/%gconf.xml is damaged and that causes gconf2 to fail.
Try deleting that file (it contains your configured email accounts in modest, you may try to backup it first)

EDIT: if you are on ext2, fsck your filesystem instead as scy suggests and move to ext3
