Look in /var/lib/dpkg/info/libgnomeprint11.postinst for what might be failing, correct it there, and 'dpkg --configure libgnomeprint11'. In this case, my guess is that you're running into Ximian bugs #2808 [1] and #2951 [2]; it's possible that the easiest solution for now would be just to comment out the call(s) to gnome-font-install, although obviously printing may not actually work properly if you do that.
