Installing both the lib32 and "regular" version of gconf attempts to install the 
file "/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.gnome.GConf.service" twice.  (This is 
normally acceptable, as long as the -contents- of the file are identical.)  For 
whatever reason the contents are different, and the usual way to fix this is to 
provide a unique file that both versions can include.

This way only one version will be installed, but yet the other service elements 
will be properly duplicated.

I'd like a bit more information in the commit message indicating what the 
conflict actually was between both files (since I believe the service file is 
textual so a diff is easy to include).
