AFAICS gconf-editor-2.10.0-5 is that corrected version.  The problem
is that due to the quoted errors you have leftovers of 2.10.0-3 and
2.10.0-4.  Because  %postun scriplets fail they are not cleaned up.

A way out of this mess, if you already installed
gconf-editor-2.10.0-5, is to do

    rpm -e --noscripts gconf-editor-2.10.0-3
    rpm -e --noscripts gconf-editor-2.10.0-4
    rpm -V gconf-editor-2.10.0-5

If the last command does not return silently, which is very likely,
then you need to 'rpm -Uvh --force gconf-editor-2.10.0-5*.rpm'
with a package for your installation architecture and this at last
should not bring any complaints.
