I had this same problem, and managed to pass through it by furiously closing down those error windows manually during the upgrade process. It kept popping new ones up at least 50 times, and continued then normally.
When all the packages were upgraded, it finally popped up an error saying that some steps were not done and "the system may be in unstable state", without giving any kind of guidance on what to do next.

Manual 'apt-get upgrade' or 'apt-get dist-upgrade' didn't give any errors or packages to upgrade, so I just rebooted. System seems to work normally after reboot. I had to manually run 'apt-get autoremove' to get rid of unused packages.

# apt-get upgrade gconf2
