Given you tried it via the terminal it might be helpful to paste/link the output or at least a screen shot. How are the devs supposed to know which packages might cause a failure?

Known upstream (Ubuntu) issue, not a Mint one. Reported numerous times on the forums, and also at https://github.com/linuxmint/mintupdate/issues/552. Upstream report is here. I've sent them patches for gconf, but actually it might be fixed soon in another way - by patching dpkg. That is tracked at another upstream report here.
