Running dpkg fixed the issue (apt-get install libgconf-2-4:i386 still resulted in some version conflict)
Subsequent apt-get -f install ran successfully and so upgrading new packages.
System is now back to normal.
Only thing is, I have one desktop (64bit) and two Laptops (64bit and 32bit) with identical configurations (oneconf & software center) the 64bits are clean installs (not upgrades)
This issue appeared only on my Desktop for some reason.
